No I think it's much worse. They are thinking of adding an app on your device that'll constantly monitor all media to see if it is CSAM and report to police.

For LEA - CSAM is the worst thing in the world and I do not support CSAM but this is not the way to combat it.

    Great, that way we can have lots of false reports to eat up investigators’ time.

    Do you have a sauce for that?

    That seems way too draconian for labour to be able to get away with.

    Yeah that's what I mean it's not an actual bill. It's a proposal and any idiot can ride a proposal.

    I thought you were saying that they were actually definitively going to implement this and I don't think they are. It might even get as far as consideration but I can't think of a situation where they can actually mandate this without a feasibility study. Which will be fun to look at.

    This is just something that the loud mouths are pushing.
