Fourthly, scanning for known, thus old material does not help identify and rescue victims, or prevent child sexual abuse. It will actually make safeguarding victims more difficult by pushing criminals to secure, decentralised communication channels which are impossible to intercept even with a warrant.

This point is huge, and on its own explains why half baked compromises are worthless.

The criminals will use banned chat apps, while innocent people get their messages read.

The reason they don't care about that is that the whole thing isn't about protecting children at all but about surveillance of the vast majority of people.

[-] MentalEdge@ani.social 38 points 8 months ago

This. There are already plans on expanding what the surveillance is used for, as soon as it is possible to begin with.

"Think of the children" is just the trick they're using to get their foot in the door. It being utterly ineffective in doing what they claim it'll do, is irrelevant.
