We just got confirmation that any weakening of system security is disastrous in the form of the Salt Typhoon.
Any representative of a country supporting it is either incredibly stupid or a proper malicious actor, there are no other options.

And this, dear kids, is why the 80s and 90s were absolute best and whoever says the opposite is a dumbfuck.

They should do a trial period where only the proponents of this have their messages shown to the public. And the public will promise to only use that information appropriately. If it works then vote on it.

Can they hold their bullshit while the anti eu far right is rising? Last thing we need right now is this bullshit.

While I am totally down for whatever to reduce the sharing of this stuff I really hope this sort of governance isn’t approved.
Sure, it might start off with scanning for this content but at the end of the day it’s a complete totalitarians wet dream.
Besides I feel like the real issue isn’t identifying sources of these things, I’m sure there are many agencies scouring the deep web and coupled with the reports from companies like Facebook Instagram etc they’ve probably got tens of thousands of leads – it’s the ability to actually do anything about it. The resources just aren’t there to find and prosecute so how is adding hundreds of thousands of people to the mix going to increase the capture rate?
This is the exact same thing that exists in China that many people say is terrible.
It starts with this, then without much of a blink it’s watching messages for national security and then for political reasons etc …
Who watches the watchmen?

Wasn’t an article *just* published with the FBI urging iPhone and android users to text using encrypted messaging apps?
Absolute lunacy to continue pursuing this dog sh*t proposal.

“Should we create the most excellent target for state-sponsored hacking?”
“That’s such an unlikely scenario”
*Looks at the entire US telecom industry currently*
“Perhaps this is actually a really really bad idea”
Gotta say – I’m surprised and disappointed that the Dutch delegation is even remotely entertaining this abomination.

I’ve spoken against it every time it has been brought up, let me just say this, if your government approves of this, they have betrayed you, don’t vote for them again.
