Shit.
This could work. “We only scan your shit with your permission” might placate enough people for them to not realise that to make that possibly at all, security has already been compromised, as required by law.
This does not alleviate the issues of the original proposal in any way whatsoever.
Regardless of whether they actively scan only with permission and only images, it still breaks the security for everyone as images are sent with the same security as text. And future governments might not be so kind with the ability to break into everyone’s communications.
This is bad news.
Can’t believe these asshats are still hiding their megalomaniac desire for power and control behind the well being of children. If we ever need perpetual surveillance it’s to keep scum like them in check.

-
war on people who drugs
-
anti-freedom-from/of-gender mysogynists campaigns (anti-trans, anti-reproductive freedoms, anti-sexual minority, pro-eugenics)
-
anti-immigration campains appealing to colonial-settler hypocrisy (creating refugees by way of exploiting & destabilizing their homes for profit of the imperial core)
-
anti-houseless people campaigns - As violent crime declines, for-profit prison system requires a prison population to exploit, further incentiving criminalization of existing in public spaces or near law officers out to meet arbitrary quotas.
I mean, Shit, this is just Fear-Propaganda-Mania grift expanding into it’s next logical killing floor. Just about anybody can be a scapegoat if you can convince the Imperial Middle that the target will harm “Women and Childeren”
All the while existing institutions and their authority figures, from “would never do anything wrong” trusted local gym coach, to the Catholic to the Mormon church, Scouts to Police Unions, and so many more carry out and stonewall any fix to the root cause that it’s Trusted Authority Figures in Established Institutions that are abusing real-world victims, victims from all disenfranchised intersections of identitiy, here, now, in reality.
And the real kicker is that the listed terminology most accurately conveys the ideas in the fewest words possible, and people who follow right-wing-authoritaian influencers are groomed into shutting down when they see those exact words.
I know you were likely being facetious – still had to go off 🫶

I cannot imagine the implementation of that without help of apps devs. How are they going to force companies, registered in UAE (Telegram) or US (Signal), to implement this feature specifically for EU market?
Likely they’ll force app/play store to require compliance for the apps published in that region.
Yes, yes, side loading, FOSS. Grandma won’t sideload, and responsibility will be on the platform owner. That’s you if you run your own matrix server for your grandma.
This is the “don’t say the government is a fuckin ass mothefaker, sonobabich, coksoking asshol law” DSTGIAFAMSCAL for short (pronounced deeteegiafamscal)
