    Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.

    Uh-huh. And how do you search for something specific without decrypting everything first? This is fucking embarrassing.

      Wasn’t the plan for the messenger to scan for explicit material before the messages were sent (and encrypted)?

        I’m going off of a article by TechRadar, but essentially: yes. This isn’t about breaking encryption as I initially thought, though that seems to have been the goal when the same law was proposed (and rightfully rejected) in 2022. Rather, the new revision is about making encryption utterly pointless through the virtue of scanning all messages on your device, as you suggested. At least that’s my read on the situation.

          And so, where is the problem?.. Your message is scanned. If it is illegitimate you can’t send it. What is the problem?

            The government doesnt get to read every message I send and see if they deem it sendable or not. Thats the problem

            If you think this would stop at CSAM then you’re naive.

            How will that initial scan take place? On your device, or sent to a server? Once you give the authorities that ability, will they stop at CSAM, or will they flag anti-israel content as well?
