Never forget that Epstein was talking about fucking children in plaintext on Gmail and they did nothing whenever you see politicians say encryption should be illegal so they can capture criminals.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

I'm only holding out on going KoS on ANY politician because I still need to be alive to do some things.

I have no ethical or physical issue with grabbing one of them, and dragging them into a bush.

If they wanted to do anything about pedophiles, they could.

Motherless is in the Netherlands, an EU country, right? A website that has hosted child pornography for more than a decade (Amanda Todd killed herself in 2012)? They took it down for a little while after that whole “global network of guys raping their sleeping partners and uploading it” thing earlier this year, but it’s up again. I doubt it would take more than 10 minutes to find illegal content on there right now.

It’s all a farce. It’s entirely possible to target individuals making and distributing CSAM, but it’s much easier to do nothing and use it as an excuse to spy on citizens.

It makes much more sense when you realize that most of the old, white men with money or political power are the ones looking at those sites.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Good! We can make a list, for after the revolution

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world 17 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

*fucking. You can type fucking on the internet. Don't worry, we won't tell your mommy.

[–] custom_username@reddthat.com 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

You also don't have to either? Weird thing to be triggered about.

[–] Leg@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago

How are you defining "triggered"? I keep seeing it used this way, and it makes no sense.

[–] topperharlie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

here we go once again to being fucking embarrassed to be European.

the first try of this made me stop voting altogether because all the fucking parties on my country were a YES. Fuck politicians, hope they all get killed.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's already done Sir. Our private data is again being scanned by US corporations to protect our children.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

* to better optimize ads, and to sell AI surveillance to crackpot dictators.

[–] vane@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Hey sudden increase of insurance price is just algorithm not that we sold your hashed house photos to the insurance company. There is no shazam for photos right ?

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 points 1 day ago

It's being scanned by everyone and everything that has access to scan it. Probably your own government too, even if you have laws supposedly prohibiting that.

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

To be fair they do seem to think it would really catch pedophiles; why else would they exclude themselves?

Some keyboards (e.g. KryptEY) allow you to exchange keys for E2E encryption with your companion and exchange messages encrypted.

if they really wanted to catch pedophiles they'd be in D.C. right now

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 169 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Funny how they're trying so hard to catch pedos not won't arrest a single motherfucker in the Epstein files

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not true; they arrested one!

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only because they really wanted to already. Boo

[–] cecinestpasunecommunication@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also they kinda killed him so he couldn't talk.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is about the EU guys, France just took on the case

Oh I mean globally, because the pedo class all have private jets.

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 59 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Jesus. I'm not in the EU, but how is this the first I'm hearing about this?

Time to go back to email and GnuPG.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

yeah i keep thinking, we're not getting around the law. we have to get around an effective implementation though by using 3rd party platforms, i.e. ones that don't conform to legal pressure. i keep thinking we need to inform people¹ about ways of secure communication in the absence of big-platform support. i.e. how do we send encrypted messages outside of facebook. we need matrix chat with end-to-end encryption that actually works, does not rely on a central "identity confirmation" service but works end-to-end. So instead of saying "i want to connect to bob@server2.net" and looking up the bob@server2.net public key somewhere, you should ideally get the bob@server2.net public key directly from the other user, if you have the chance to meet them irl. it's the only way to actually secure end-to-end communication.

[1]: Note. This is very important. do NOT under no circumstances come up with the stupid ridiculous and outright dangerous notion that you're gonna convince large masses of the population to care about their privacy. there needs to be a bit of elitism in this.

Because they're trying to suppress the public reaction.

You won't hear about this on prime-time TV news, and it’s even censored on some more popular parts of the internet, like Reddit.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

nah i just think that lots of people are tired of hearing about it. since it's an issue year-over-year, they're just waiting until we're getting tired about it. then they'll sneak it in.

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It has been approved, it seems that democracy is dead in the EU.

In the US, gun owners like to joke about how great those blue helmets are as targets.

[–] ollie@pawb.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

genuine question, im not in the EU, how would this affect self hosted/federated E2EE chat services like Matrix and XMPP?

[–] lavander@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

As always in these cases… it depends if backdoors will be mandated. Maybe not in the first version… maybe in the cond or third… you need to make people to accept things a bit at the time
