Can someone explain to an American what chat control is?
Basically scanning communications and breaking encryption, under the guise of predictably stopping child abuse
and technically, how would they achieve this?
Force all the big platforms to share their encrypted data. Banning end-to-end encryption. It's all very stupid and will never actually catch any bad guys.
I have been running my own matrix server andere cliënt for a while. So if I keep running it and just don't update it, that would suddenly be illegal? Geus it is time to see how my for relay is doing.
No any self hosted isn't on the radar. By big, they mean the centralized giants, i.e. Meta, Google, Telegram, Signal(?) etc.
If it actually did catch that many bad guy... would fuck regional court, complete overload. we have struggle deal with number of ukraine immigrant, now imagine deal with all the fake report because ai just bad?
The fuck is with these stupid bots that try to turn every conversation into "muh immigration"
A fascist first world is easier for Russia and China than a free one
I use immigration as example that our beurocracy in germany unable to handle any large load of work efficiently.
Germany's workforce relies on immigration, your point has no sense
Not talking about workforce, talking about paperwork and beurocracy involved with immigration. At the start of invasion workforce could not keep up with amount of immigration form filed by immigrant.
lol sure loser whatever
Originally governments wanted backdoors into encryption protocols, but now they seem to want client side scanning (i.e. scanning messages on your phone before it's encrypted and sent out)

Working like shit then? Has it made a difference?
If I understand correctly, its what the NSA "allegedly" doesn't do to U.S. citizens already. Except, these countries are being public about it. This way they can actually follow through without the "secret getting out".
