The funny thing is that most of those pedophiles who share CP or any of that child sexual shit on the internet don't use your casual normie's go-to messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. If they find out that the EU can now request decryption keys to decrypt their stuff, then they'll switch to something which can't be circumvented by law and probably start encrypting the messages manually instead. The smarter ones probably already started out like that without trusting any provider in the first place. The only ones that'll get caught in this chat control bullshit are the retarded ones. Didn't think a region that was all pro-privacy with their GDPR and their DMA and stuff would actually agree to this.
I think pepole on lemmy vastly overestimate how incredibly non technical the vast majority of population is. Including potential criminals. Still a stupid law tho.
