    Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was ‘Oh no, not again.’

    You know it’s going to be bad when it’s almost literally called the “think of the children bill”

    Yeah, it sounds good until the current or next leaders use it to arrest people because they don’t like the current leadership or a miriad of other things they don’t want people thinking, regardless of what side they’re on. I would gladly take privacy and security over throwing the baby out with the bathwater, especially with legislation and law that immediately treats you like a prisoner.

    Can we take an ‘industry regulates itself’ approach to this? Make a foss csam hash scanner and include it in aosp. When they try to pass these show them that it already exists. That way we at least have some transparency to what it does

      Yeah, because traditionally corporations have been good at regulating themselves, and we all know that they never sell access to private information of individuals to their governments.

      On top of that, your idea would never work because they want a tamper-proof system, which would require Google having total control over the implementation, which would not work since multiple projects like GrapheneOS strip google entirely out of Android.

      Furthermore, this is just a slippery slope to even worse invasions of privacy, and if your idea was implemented it wouldn’t be long before they insisted on even deeper intrusions, justifying it as being incremental on the access they already had.
