users of apps with a communication function would have to agree via terms and conditions or pop-up messages that all images and videos sent to others will be scanned automatically and possibly reported to the EU and the police.
This is more like coercion than consent.
And let’s be clear: The goal of legislation like this is not to allow investigating child abusers, which can already be done legally. The goal is to impose mass surveillance on the population, circumventing due process.
It works with cookie popups, except you need to deny them with every page load
This will probably just make peer to peer messaging apps more popular.
If you have Internet it uses tor and there’s no main server to rely on.
If there’s no Internet it can use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi locally.
I am just sad that the desktop version is not as full-featured. The website says no Tor bridges, which here means no Tor connectivity at all. And it is weird that the mailbox is primarily for phones, even though phones are not supposed to be working permanently on a charger - they do have a cli one at least so you’s probably be able to use something like a Raspberry instead, for now only buildable from source but hope it develops. But yea, very cool model! Although I would say for everyday less sensitive communication I would choose XMPP or Matrix instead.
99 percent of people won’t care, won’t understand, or just be part of the mindset of why be scared if we have nothing to hide.
Only us techs will care
Just in time for me to finally have completed my Matrix setup a few days ago.
I prefer XMPP, which is lighter, but I have a Matrix server too and get why you’d prefer it.
this could finally be a good “reason” to convice some people near me to get into meshtastic
They always hide behind the claim it’s for the children… but how many children have they actually saved from this?
They always hide behind the claim it’s for the children
Sometimes it’s the terrorists.
They’re probably gonna put parents behind bars for a misunderstanding on their private lives
This reminds me of that time google was scanning photos and reported a man to the police for being a pedophile, turns out it was a father sending a picture to his doctor
If consent mattered, governments and corporations all around the world wouldn’t be pushing to expand the global surveillance apparatus.
Is this just another Tuesday now? Fuck me.
