Die EU belebt den Plan, private Nachrichten zu verbieten – die EU tritt in Richtung des größten Friedensüberwachungsexperiments in ihrer Geschichte und plant, jede private Nachricht leise zu durchsuchen, bevor Sie Send treffen.

There’ll be bot accounts coming along to defend this shite in 3….2….1
Wasn’t it the Americans doing this kind of thing that had at least some influence on GDPR here in the EU?
Yet here we are with a sizable number of governments in favour of it including our own.
Anybody who thinks this is good is hopeless
Can anyone vouch for the accuracy of this or the source?
Massively over stepping the line if true
The EU isn’t going to ban private messages. The proposal is the allow the scanning of messages prior to encryption to detect images of child sexual abuse. Even this isn’t guaranteed to pass since neither all member states or the European Court of human rights support the proposal for various reasons.
They’ve been beat down numerous times but they just keep trying to get it through. They are insane control freaks.
Along with banning VPNs
Politics aside, how would this actually work in practice? If the goal is for messaging apps to carry out client side scanning before encrypting a message, what would stop someone from just encrypting their message with something like PGP first before pasting it into the message app and hitting send?
It doesn’t seem like this would actually stop the ability for people to communicate privately, but instead just force people into extra steps in order to do so. Which I suspect is the actual goal here – e.g make it inconvenient enough for the average person and hope the majority of the public just silently accepts this gross violation of privacy due to the convenience factor.
EU wants to be China 2.0
The article is a little sensational at best.
They won’t search messages before you send it.
But the police/gardai/interpol will be able to summons the information.
Or get access by court approval .
Like they had with post and telephones before.
Ain’t going to happen
How will this be done? It’s unfeasible and a breach of gdpr
I think it’s adorable to think privacy exists at the moment 😄
Fake news from people who hate the European Union.
Looks like we will have to send letters to the boys……if we to have a bita crk.
This website is bollocks. Ignore anything they say. Shower of cunts behind it
So to give you perspective, social media company scanned user messages to proactively detect CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), there’s a certain indicators that would flag this kind of conversation.
Human mods will then review this to confirm (and in many cases, report the content to authorities). This is proactive, meaning, system goes into the inbox. Per the EU law, whatever law it is, it is a breach and there’s no consent for this. So social media has to stop this proactive works (and wait for it to be reported). But no child will report this kind of thing cause they are being groomed.
The revival is to allow this proactive works. Which in my opinion, is very important work.
It’s unclear who owns this conservative „outlet“. Their sourcing is suspect and they are very one-sided.
Their editorial team is unknown.
The headline claims the EU is planning to “ban private messaging,” which is not accurate. The actual proposal involves client-side scanning for child abuse content, not an outright ban on private messaging apps. Hyperbolic phrasing.
Whether you believe the EU’s intentions or not, the article is just outright alarmist and loaded in its framing and is deliberately misleading. It provides no quotes or reference to any supporters of the legislation.
It’s intentionally painting the EU in bad light and again, anonymous authors and editorial team.
