Detection technologies have already acquired a high degree of accuracy

I wonder what they consider high accuracy because it will almost certainly not be enough. Millions of people being monitored means billions of messages a day. For a billion messages a program that'a 99.999% accurate will have 10,000 false positives a day and 1 billion messages a day is a fairly low estimate imo.

Mind blowing we still have to tell governments that back doors for you mean a back door for them.

I assume this technology would be applied to every government employee and politician who would then be forced to use unencrypted messages so we know they aren't involved in any CSAM?
