The Australian government would have you believe that we’re in the middle of some kind of CP endemic and everyone needs to suffer for it.

This will catch precisely nobody, as the criminals will immediately move to a different platform, of which there are many.

I host my own mail. If the AFP want to inspect it, they’ll need a warrant.

As an Aussie, Australia has cp problem. Most boomers keep getting arrested here for these stuff. Keep you child away from anyone above the age of 60+ as most of these guys getting arrested are around the age and are registered pedo

Edit: going to leave this here for people downvoting. There’s many more cases. Keep your kids away from white 60+ year olds.-

I think Australia has also another problem: they are registered pedo, so I suppose they are guilty of at least a past offense, why on earth should they be able to be outside a jail ?

But only those within the family.

Attacks by strangers are rare (10% or so), so leave your child with a stranger wherever possible.

But didn’t proton give up some information to like the Finnish government or something like that a couple years back? Like I mean what they’re doing now is good, but what about that other thing that happened?

They gave up information to the Swiss government after they got a warrant, and due to the way Proton works, they were only able to give them the IP address so they could arrest the person, who was also Swiss. They didn’t compromise security, because they can’t.

They don’t respond to demands from other governments, and the Swiss government haven’t cooperated with other governments either, so far as anyone knows. In the end, there isn’t really anything the Australian government can do to them if they refuse to create a backdoor for them.

They follow Swiss law. The Swiss govt had a legal warrant and they only provided legally required informationafter that.

It’s not anarchic. They still have to abide by the law of their jurisdiction.

The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has proposed cloud and messaging service providers should detect and remove known child abuse material and pro-terror material “where technically feasible” – as well as disrupt and deter new material of that nature.

The eSafety regulator has stressed in an associated discussion paper it “does not advocate building in weaknesses or back doors to undermine privacy and security on end-to-end encrypted services”.

I so love these magic wand-waving legislators. “Spy on your users and control what they do on your encrypted platform, but in a way that doesn’t break encryption or violate privacy…”

Organisations and groups who want to protect privacy should come up with ways themselves on how to protect their services from certain activities.

You mean like implementing strong data privacy measures and fighting regulators to protect them? That sounds like a good idea to me. If you’re interested, that is what the article is about.

No, I mean that they should think of own measurements against illegal media and communication.

You can’t have both privacy and protection from illegal media and communication.
