This is one of the things I don’t get about any of this shit - if we were talking about physical items, letters, a hard landline, physical art, written medical information, etc. this would require a warrant, court order or whatever. Why the fuck is digital anything viewed as a free-for-all by govts, AI techbros, data brokers et al. How do they not understand that just because something is ‘digital’ it doesn’t deserve the same protections as before?!
I truly believe our politicians are out of touch. Either because they themselves are too old or because they dont understand the underlying concepts.
What truly upsets me is understanding things like USBs and HDDs still exists. So if someone wanted to share “illegal content” completely “offline” it’s already possible to do so. How does scanning everyone’s personal “letters” help track down people sharing “illegal content” hand to hand.
