I would like to see an open discussion include the people who actually investigate CSAM crimes to talk about the tools they have and their limitations etc. to give people real context about what they might need for new laws.
Not that we should give law enforcement everything they want to do their jobs, but a voice coming from people with actual experience would help.
I get the sense that nearly everyone on both sides of this issue is entirely guessing.
I would like evidence that police actually use the tools and evidence they already have. There are currently more than 25 thousand rape kits in the US alone that have not been tested.
That is the entire answer for "is there any interest in solving sex crimes". If the police do not have the time or the money to do the most basic work possible having already made rape victims sit through the incredibly invasive process of taking the rape kit, why should we think that anything that gives them access to the content of people's devices is going to be used for any kind of sex crime inquiry?
Police do not care about sex crimes. CSAM detection is just their new angle to get unfettered warrantless access to everyone's data. Europol representatives have already explicitly stated that that's what they want this for.
I get the sense that nearly everyone on both sides of this issue is entirely guessing.
I would hope that people base their political positions on strong evidence and/or the voices of subject matter experts. Alas, political positions are more based on what people want to be true, rather than what is true.
