Freedome of speach does not equal freedom to perform illegal actions.
If ppl want to express fe. "How to rape a child" in some chat, they should be STOPPED period, because that can not be considered "free speach".
Same with other kind of illegal stuff.

Do you understand?

@TriMoon I think I understand your point.

However, child protection experts who work with abuse cases every day actually oppose this proposal because it won't catch predators but will harm kids. The scanning creates security holes that make everyone including children more vulnerable. The technical reality is predators will simply use different apps while millions of innocent messages get scanned. Even with 99% accuracy that's still thousands of false reports daily overwhelming investigators.

Multiple children's rights organizations have written letters opposing this specifically because it diverts resources from proven protection methods. They're asking for funding for actual help programs instead. The proposal even includes a review clause admitting they plan to expand scanning later.

If you spend just 10 minutes researching this you'll find every encryption expert explains why this approach makes children less safe not more safe. It's a trojan horse where the child protection angle sounds good but that's where it stops.

This whole thing is a massive danger to democracy for everyone everywhere.
