I’m deeply against this ridiculous proposal.

But scanning of messages already happens, tbf, for spell checking, emoji replacement, links to known infectious sites.

Photo copiers do client side scanning to prevent copying of money.

There are precedents.

I hate this proposal. But let’s be straight about the facts: The phone has full access to everything you send and receive already. This isn’t the same as having an encryption back door.
