The proposed #ChatControl EU law, intended for a good purpose, seems to be very problematic. It will give states totalitarian control of all private communication and eventually as unintended consequence ban #opensource operating systems. Here is one article about it: https://mullvad.net/sv/blog/2023/2/1/eu-chat-control-law-will-ban-open-source-operating-systems/ #privacy #FOSS
@demitasse The planned law is related to the good cause to protect children. But it appears as side effects at the same time can cause too much negative problems for privacy in general. I think it can be compared with the feature Apple planned to implement, forgotten the name of it, they put on hold to redo and then withdraw all together - it was also for a good cause for children but at the same time problematic for privcy in general. Balance is always tricky and needs to be analyzed.
@demitasse Sorry, but I cannot take you response seriously. Either you are ironic, joking, in a way I do not understand. Or either you believe in what you write, and then I cannot diagree more. I do not believe in any what of what you wrote. You are free to write and express it.

Above is, I believe, the first time we talk to each other. Apparently you have a completely different view of the world than I have. In addition to your different view, I consider the way you address me aboove not to be a respectful way to talk to your fellow human being.
