    I wish they would report on this more honestly.

    Europe and Australia both back down on mass surveillance in the name of CSAM

    FIFY

    Oh wow, I really didn’t expect this, and aside from all the problems with sex trafficking, this is a huge win for privacy… for now

      Privacy is implied when you say “innocent until proven guilty”. Surveillance assumes the opposite.

    I supposed pedos wouldn’t storage their CP collections in a smart device anyway unless they are dumb AF…

    And if they do they deserve to be processed for being pedos and dumb AF… LMAO

      I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught

      And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.

      They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.

      We actually had this happen at a place I worked at.

      Old bloke came in to get his computer looked at since it wasn’t working too well. The guys found all kinds of shit on his desktop so they took it out the back and called the cops.

      He ended up in jail which is nice.

        If he is enough dumb to take his desktop to repair containing a CP collection, he definetly belongs to jail… this remember me about Hunter Biden BTW.
