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.
What if I don’t agree? No messages?
On the next EULA click no or don’t agree and try using the service
It works with cookie popups, except you need to deny them with every page load
Most likely.
This will probably just make peer to peer messaging apps more popular.
Briar is pretty cool if you’re on Android.
What’s the advantage over signal?
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.
Very cool and impressive, but I’d rather be able to share arbitrary files.
And looks like you can only send images in DMs, but not in groups/forums.

I don’t think that most people will care
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
Well, ones that aren’t based on a service operating in the EU, at any rate.
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
That’s our tax dollars at work.
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.
