The bill seeks, in fact,        MP> to introduce new obligations for all messaging services        MP> operating in Europe to scan users' chats, even when        MP> they're encrypted, in the lookout for CSAM material.              [...]              Wow.. so, with a simple declaration, they can force a product        that cannot necessarily decrypt a user's messages to be        reengineered so that it does? That's ridiculous.              At the very least, there are development costs involved to        "break" E2EE, and the implementation. Is the EU going to be        paying for those changes?                      MP> Encryption is indeed the technology that the likes of        MP> Tuta Mail, Proton Mail , Signal, and WhatsApp (but also        MP> the best VPN services) use to keep our communications        MP> private. A protection that mandatory scanning and        MP> detection technologies are set to dangerously undermine,        MP> warn experts.              Federated/distributed systems such as Session, Simplex, and        Briar, (and even PGP-mail where each end user has control of        their keys) ought to be immune to the Chat Control proposal.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: My Westcoast Point (1:153/757.21)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 18/0 105/81 106/201 116/116 123/0 25 126 180 525 755       SEEN-BY: 123/3001 3002 4040 128/187 129/14 305 134/100 135/115 153/0       SEEN-BY: 153/135 143 148 151 153 757 7715 154/110 218/700 221/6 222/2       SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 111 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 705 250/1 266/512 275/1000 280/464 291/111 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 712/848 1321 902/26 2320/0       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 304 3634/0 12 24 27 56 57 58 60 5075/35       PATH: 153/757 3634/12 2320/105 229/426           |
