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?
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?
Yup, that’s it.
