"Once we have a backdoor in all your systems, we'll never ever abuse it. Trust us, bro."

In short 'we will only spy the bad guys'?

Sure.

"We are not controlling the chat, that is done by some obscure programm that scans every single word, picture and other file. For what? Of course only stuff that endangers children and if you do not believe us it means you are probably a child predator 😤"

What i fear is, that if they tell that lie often enough, more and more people will believe it.

"Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched"

Searched in what? All open and private discussions? That is the whole f-ing point!

Saying something like "It's only a tiny bit controlled." is similar to saying "I'm only a tiny bit pregnant.".
It does not work this way in reality.

Only material... can be detected

Impossible, they have to scan everything to detect it. They are fucking liars.

I can genuinely believe that the people putting this forward are clueless enough about the tech to not understand why this doesn't make sense.

Still shouldn't happen.

And how, pray tell, will you "search for and detect" child abuse, without the general monitoring of online communications?

So they are going to search everything and allow a computer to decide what is child abuse, then we can just take their word for them not reading and cataloging every other category of people they want to Target. Sending the tips anonymously through their law enforcement information Networks so we would never know or be able to challenge the use of that information. As the USA has done with its NSA illegal spying.

All while their countries are busy illegalizing protest and dissent, first four Israel and climate change and environmental issues, it will be an expanding list.

But that is literally the official name used in Germany by government media. ¯_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Argumentum ad "we're not calling it that."

We gotta spy on everything to detect the bad stuff, but we're only gonna detect the bad stuff! That's different, somehow!

Stop entertaining authoritarians, and make physical lessons, Europe!

They can't learn, unless you make physical examples.

EU commission further proving they wipe their asses with transparency and accountability. The COVID vaccine deals were negotiated in secret, four years later and in spite of lawsuits against them they are still fighting tooth and nail to keep as much information as they can secret.

Can I ping mastodon from lemmy?

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

Why are there no replies in that thread? In that post you say something that appears to go completely against technological possibility, and people are asking questions. Why are you not replying? What kind of outrach account is this that behaves this way?

I'm curious how this will work with GDPR. Will they be allowed to look through my stuff but keep none of it unless it's illegal?

So, the European Commission has the money to hire a PR department?
Not particularly news, but oh well.

I've not looked into this chat control thing (I did sign the thing opposing it, don't worry), what's it about? Specifically, how would they prevent me using a chat app they can't look into?

It's a stupid thing to go at anyway, chat. Its obvious people will hate it and organize against it. On the other actual pedos will find a way to encrypt it if they know someone could be watching. And on the other other hand they set so many guardrails, it would take a shitton of judges and signatures to actually go and look.

It would make way more sense to put more effort in other places. I think, but I don't know a lot about hunting pedos.

good now stop cooperating with us and ice.

Man, fuck webp. Fuck you but thanks for the laugh
