The real offenders (except for some stupid rookies) move to the dark web and won't touch the official apps while politicians use this power to scan for political and environmental activists, opponents and critics.

I said the same to a coworker this week. If i were to be part or manage an illegal ring like csam, id make my own protocol/app that just uses encryption. Youre already doing illegal shit, go one further so you dont get caught
Sorry citizen, every time you enter the bar we've got to take a swab from your genitals to check that since you were last here you haven't fucked any kids.
Fucking ridiculous. If you want to prevent CSAM spreading across Europe do this instead:
- new funding for a cross boarder specialist taskforce to coordinate law enforcement agencies.
- hide the identity of defendant and victim during trials.
- offer a slightly lighter sentence to offenders if they successfully help with bringing down the rings.
- a large cross-boarder sting operation.
- new funding for therapy for offenders to reform them and during and after they've served their time.
- new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.
Investigation and surgical removal of the whole rotten ring of kid fuckers will curve CSAM creation and distribution in the EU.
Then preventative measures to stop creators/ consumers of CSAM because prevention is more effective than trying to cure it.
Child sexual abuse is one of, if not the most evil act someone can commit and they should face very steep punishment for it. And anyone proposing any policy offering help to reform them is committing political suicide.
But ignoring the fact that people have the capacity to commit an evil act of that magnitude, demonising them, and then offering no support network to prevent them is not going to solve the problem. It doesn't work for any crime and certainly not this.
Unfortunately stopping CSAM isn’t the point. The point is eroding privacy and pretending it’s protecting kids.
Freedom?
This is that super forward-thinking EU tech protection we are always hearing about that the whole world should be so jealous of.
