I’m starting to think leaving the EU was a good idea.
This will embolden other countries to do the same. *Well look! The EU are doing it….*
What the hell?!?
>The EU Commission wants all smartphones to search messages and photos for allegedly suspicious content before they are sent via encrypted messaging services. Unencrypted communications are to be screened by the provider. If the algorithm detects suspicious content, a report would automatically be sent to the police. The stated purpose is the search for child pornography. However, according to the Swiss Federal Police, 86% of the personal messages and photos reported by the error-prone algorithms used so far only by US providers are not criminally relevant.
“Opportunity passes”, mandatory chat controls. Yep, nothing to see here we’re certainly not heading for totalitarian state.

Seems technological hard, if not plain crazy.
I guess it can be compared to a known database, but even that could be worked around.
Ah yes, pirate party… Sounds very reliable
/s ^(in case there was any doubt)
EU fascist bureaucrats
How about no.
This is so fucking stupid and absolutely nonsense from a technical perspective
Political repost and lies, election campaineereing telling you bullshit.
More than half the comments are from u/Jane_the_ANALyst

As an American, it’s painful for me to read about proposals like this, because usual the EU provides more freedoms and protections for workers and consumers than we do. How likely is this to pass without being watered down or destroyed later in European courts in the future? I was under the impression that mandatory monitoring of all communications in this way was illegal in the EU. It hardly seems like automated algorithmic reporting to police would be good for either citizens or the police.
Wtf, how is this even talked about? That’s basically spying
Next: ~~China~~ EU social credit system..
Good luck forcing that against self-hosted Matrix!
