The Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About (John Ozbay Interview about encryption vs bad stuff, Chat Control and corporate lobbying)

/Techlore channel

End-to-end encrypted file sharing may sound simple, but for Cryptee, it took five years to ship. In this interview, Henry sits down with John Ozbay, founder and CEO of Cryptee, to talk through why: preventing CSAM, why client-side scanning doesn’t work, how Cryptee’s solution was designed to raise the barrier to mass spread without compromising encryption, and the broader philosophical question of where developer liability ends and moral responsibility begins.

The interview is about finding the relevant nuance to be able to have the right conversation.

Hvis de kan arbejder sammen - behøver de ikke #ChatControl

En Interpol hackathon i maj afslørede 18 konti på abonnements-baserede websteder, der beskæftiger sig med CSAM, menneske-handel og seksuel udnyttelse

.. fra 7 europæiske lande scannede internettet og sociale medier i maj for afslørende tegn på ulovlig aktivitet

Scanninger opdagede rekrutterere, indholds-producenter, rekrutterings-annoncer, betalings-platforme og #AI -genererede profiler

Bin im @BMDS beim Tag der offenen Tür. Gute Nachrichten:

- Minister Wildberger hat mir persönlich versichert, er sei ein Freund von Opensource und wolle, dass Bundes-Android-Apps auch außerhalb des Google Playstore zu haben sind.
- Ich habe ihm mein Argument vortragen können, wenn #Chatcontrol käme, dann müsste OS auf Handys verboten werden. Er dachte nach, das schien ihm neu.
- Er meinte dann, er sei ohnehin kein Freund von Chatcontrol.
- Die EUDI-Wallet https://eudi-wallet.gov.de/ wird OS.
