Comment on EU "Chat Control" and Mandatory Client Side Scanningparent

No, you're missing the point. It's nothing to do with remotely taking a photo, nor whether or not you publish online.

It's a "all devices need to scan all data and report if anything looks illegal". So yeah, if someone sent you malicious data you could end up being arrested and paraded through the press before silently being release with your life and google search forever tainted.

It's particularly stupid because the government is essentially saying "manufacturers must search your device, and then report the content, and that is probable cause to justify a search warrant", which is obviously absurd.
