A leaked doc obtained by WIRED shows how the CSAM scanning legislation sausage is getting made in the EU right now, with commentary from 20 countries about their thoughts on strategy/end-to-end encryption. And Spain is out here calling for an E2EE EU ban! https://www.wired.com/story/europe-break-encryption-leaked-document-csa-law/

@lhn

might want to find a source that allows opting out of getting personally identified and put in a dossier collecting identified devices under that personal identification

@lhn funny how they're always going after both Pornhub and E2EE, but not going after Facebook/Meta which has disproportionately more CSAM published to it's services...

@lhn My fellow Europeans with less technical background should never forget that this is mainly about *their* private communication, not mine.

@lhn also, never forget: if you support this and then get rounded up by the police because your teenager sent their partner nudes, I'll still be outraged this happened, but I'll also laugh.

@lhn
I think the only way to truly stop CSAM is for everyone to agree to stop having children. In twenty years, there will not be any CSAM anywhere in the world because there won't be any children. It's so simple!

Certainly, this would work at least as well as banning end to end encryption.

@lhn I thought that this was in the works for years? I remember France talking about E2EE ban since the beginning of the previous decade
