I’m not sure what kind of algorithm they could use to find CSAM.
“Once we have a backdoor in all your systems, we’ll never ever abuse it. Trust us, bro.”
That’s not even what they are saying. They are saying that they will not monitor communication, except for the communication they will monitor.
No, they’re very clear: only CSAM will be scanned. So if they don’t know, they won’t scan it. /s
That’s doable, though, simply create an official app called “Pedo Chat for Sharing CSAM” and scan only that single app.
Only material… can be detected
Impossible, they have to scan everything to detect it. They are fucking liars.
In short ‘we will only spy the bad guys’? Edit, I almost forgot the mandatory ‘Think about the children!’
Sure.
“Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched”
Searched in what? All open and private discussions? That is the whole f-ing point!
It’s super smart, they will only monitor criminal activity, specifically.
Saying something like “It’s only a tiny bit controlled.” is similar to saying “I’m only a tiny bit pregnant.”.
It does not work this way in reality.“We are not controlling the chat, that is done by some obscure programm that scans every single word, picture and other file. For what? Of course only stuff that endangers children and if you do not believe us it means you are probably a child predator 😤”
What i fear is, that if they tell that lie often enough, more and more people will believe it.
And how, pray tell, will you “search for and detect” child abuse, without the general monitoring of online communications?
They’re playing dumb. Search through what?
But that is literally the official name used in Germany by government media. ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
So they are going to search everything and allow a computer to decide what is child abuse, then we can just take their word for them not reading and cataloging every other category of people they want to Target. Sending the tips anonymously through their law enforcement information Networks so we would never know or be able to challenge the use of that information. As the USA has done with its NSA illegal spying.
All while their countries are busy illegalizing protest and dissent, first four Israel and climate change and environmental issues, it will be an expanding list.
Haha, so true! XD
Stop entertaining authoritarians, and make physical lessons, Europe!
They can’t learn, unless you make physical examples.
EU commission further proving they wipe their asses with transparency and accountability. The COVID vaccine deals were negotiated in secret, four years later and in spite of lawsuits against them they are still fighting tooth and nail to keep as much information as they can secret.
Can I ping mastodon from lemmy?

Why are there no replies in that thread? In that post you say something that appears to go completely against technological possibility, and people are asking questions. Why are you not replying? What kind of outrach account is this that behaves this way?
Man, fuck webp. Fuck you but thanks for the laugh
good now stop cooperating with us and ice.
I’ve not looked into this chat control thing (I did sign the thing opposing it, don’t worry), what’s it about? Specifically, how would they prevent me using a chat app they can’t look into?
It’s a stupid thing to go at anyway, chat. Its obvious people will hate it and organize against it. On the other actual pedos will find a way to encrypt it if they know someone could be watching. And on the other other hand they set so many guardrails, it would take a shitton of judges and signatures to actually go and look.
It would make way more sense to put more effort in other places. I think, but I don’t know a lot about hunting pedos.
how would they prevent me using a chat app they can’t look into?
I dont think they can, unless they get android and iOS to do this os wide. The bigger problem is: will the public care enough to use such a messenger? Will they do it when it becomes illegal to use such a messenger? If not, mass surveillance is inevitable and those sidestepping it for important privacy reasons are easily detectable making them easy targets.
You think they could easily find out people who are using an app they can’t check? How?
-
bully OS providers into compliance, Google/Apple knows which apps you have installed and which apps you open.
-
assume anyone using VPN or Tor or similar is suspicious, with deep packet inspection you can get a lot of information - even if it looks like nonsense data, you absolutely can infer patterns if you have enough data.
-
Pretty much every messenger is built around a central server. Tracing connections to that server is not without hassle but doable with government resources. Now, a Briar-Style P2P Network could work but that has it’s own problems. Central servers are popular for a reason.
