🤠 In 2022, a new law rolled into town – the Digital Markets Act.

@EUCommission "greater trust"
There will be no trust if you ban or undermine encryption.
@elgregor @EUCommission exactly this, how can I trust the EUC if they have gotten this close getting this sick mass surveillance law passed.
Its the job of law enforcement to catch predators, not big coorperations. I don't expect this to be effective anyway since predators will just continue doing it using software that ecrypts messages before they are sent and checked by the scanning AI.
