I wish they would report on this more honestly.
Europe and Australia both back down on mass surveillance in the name of CSAM

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Not to worry: while the EU may have backed down on the "Chat Control" legislation (again. For now), it's not the only mass surveillance law in the pipeline that's being prepared behind closed doors! The "security by design" proposal – which does the opposite of what the name implies – would get us mass scale surveillance and storing of all our electronic communication and not just images, and would require all encryption used in the EU (by us plebs, that is) to be interceptable.
Like somebody said in an earlier article about Chat Control, we need to fight these fascist proposals infinitely many times, but they only have to succeed once.
Oh wow, I really didn't expect this, and aside from all the problems with sex trafficking, this is a huge win for privacy... for now
Privacy is implied when you say “innocent until proven guilty”. Surveillance assumes the opposite.
I supposed pedos wouldn't storage their CP collections in a smart device anyway unless they are dumb AF..
And if they do they deserve to be processed for being pedos and dumb AF.. LMAO
We actually had this happen at a place I worked at.
Old bloke came in to get his computer looked at since it wasn't working too well. The guys found all kinds of shit on his desktop so they took it out the back and called the cops.
He ended up in jail which is nice.
I mean that’s the thing - it does happen, but those people are already being caught
And once they catch one, they catch a bunch of others that were part of the whatsapp/telegram/whatever group.
They don’t need these backdoors to catch them, because the ones caught like this are the stupid ones they will catch regardless.
unless they are dumb AF
The good news is that there is no correlation between high intelligence and pedophilia.
