I guess the real predators are the companies who make those surveillance systems
they should force WhatsApp/Apple/Signal/Telegram to scan all our private messages
Average person: "Fuck right off."
for suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
Average person: "OH WELL I GUESS IT'S OKAY THEN."
That's why average person sucks, average person doesn't even care about politics and falls for corrupts' tricks easily
Important excerpt:
“Introducing a scanning application on every mobile phone, with its associated infrastructure and management solutions, leads to an extensive and very complex system. Such a complex system grants access to a large number of mobile devices & the personal data thereon. The resulting situation is regarded by AIVD as too large a risk for our digital resilience. (…) Applying detection orders to providers of end-to-end encrypted communications entails too large a security risk for our digital resilience”.
How tf do you even do that? I get how you would on a stock proprietary OS. But there are open OSes, and then how? Doubt something this complex and autonomous could be hidden like the XZ backdoor. If some OS complies - wouldn't people fork it to remove the malware?
And then there are desktops, which are much easier and more universal to make private...
Too bad politicians don't have to base their decisions on an expert opinion. Any credible person will answer that this is a bad idea, but the issue is "easy and quick solutions to difficult problems".
Every time you have a child that's abused, you have a child that's abused.
Seems like the solution to this is the normal ways we deal with child abuse: social workers and school counsels.
They'll just du what they did before - "Our experts say: it's perfectly safe and secure. No we won't tell you the names of our experts to protect their privacy and personal safety"
Failed laws don't stop libre software. Let them backdoor themselves.
No thanks. I have a business, and I don't want to be fined for using software thats protected from backdoors.
Dutch spooks gonna get in trouble with the regime lol
