A European Commission proposal could force tech companies to scan
private messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and evidence
of grooming, even when those messages are supposed to be protected by end-to-end encryption.
***** Moderator's Note *****
Whatever technical means the EU might /think/ are necessary, they
would be, even if implemented, bypassed by the porn freaks with little trouble.
Long story short, neither the EU nor any ISP can block traffic in pornography, no matter how hard they pretend to try.
Online services that receive "detection orders" under the pending
European Union legislation would have "obligations concerning the
detection, reporting, removal and blocking of known and new child
sexual abuse material, as well as solicitation of children, regardless
of the technology used in the online exchanges," the proposal
says. The plan calls end-to-end encryption an important security tool
but essentially orders companies to break that end-to-end encryption
by whatever technological means necessary.
