this destroys our digital privacy of correspondence. Despite lip service being paid to encryption, client-side scanning is to be used to undermine previously secure end-to-end encryption in order to turn our smartphones into spies – this destroys secure encryption.

We'll be moving towards local storage + local hard drives backups, since anything that goes through a server or a chat service seems to be under attack. Also fuck the Irish government.
