I think you got the point. Criminals use the same services as the rest of us. CSAM is being used as pretext to outlaw or bypass end-to-end encryption.

It's a noble cause, but it puts all of us in a vulnerable position. As post-communist countries know from past experience, once these measures are in place the next government will use it for surveillance of all kind when it's their turn.

Yes, I know. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. I'm not doing anything illegal at the toilet, but I still prefer to keep the door closed - even if I'm home alone.

Chat control 1.0 has been voluntarily inplemented by big platforms, but it has not been fruitful. Lots of false positives and not enough resources to look at the true positives. The delegates preparing this have demonstrated poor technical understanding.

Whistleblowers won't have confidence in anonymity. A journalist asked the author (Ylva Johansson) of the proposal if he, as a journalist, would still be able to receive tips from whistleblowers with secrecy. She stumbled ln her answer and said that CSAM should be illegal.

Police and officials are of course exempt from chat control 2.0. Secrecy for me, but not for thee. . .
