    … And how will you be able to distinguish between encrypted child pornography and encrypted normal messages?

    It’s kind of the crux of the matter, so please answer this question

      Here is a less radical version

      Privacy is not negotiable. It is not a privilege granted by the state, but a fundamental condition of human freedom. Any attempt to undermine encryption, to insert backdoors, or to surveil private communications is not about protecting children, it is about total control.

      The invocation of child protection is not neutral. It is a deliberate emotional manipulation, weaponized to silence dissent and shame opposition. If these proposals were truly about helping children, they wouldn’t be attacking the one technology that protects vulnerable people, encryption, including children themselves, activists, journalists, and victims of abuse.

      Once the infrastructure for total surveillance is in place, it will never be dismantled without revolution. History is clear: power concedes nothing voluntarily. There will be no going back. The moment we compromise, we lose everything, and we will not get it back without blood.

      There is no middle ground between liberty and submission. This is not a policy debate. This is a war for the future of human autonomy. We must reject this system entirely, not tweak it, not reform it, but destroy it at its root. To preserve freedom, we must be absolutely ungovernable.

        Once the infrastructure for total surveillance is in place, it will never be dismantled without a revolution.

        The entire point of surveillance is that all attempts at revolutions can be thwarted.

          Every other time in history, the oppressor has eventually rotted from inside and its carcass thrown overboard.
          Over centuries humanity might escape its prison again.
          But for the people alive when the prison is built, they will become cattle for the rest of their lives and so will their children.
          We might one day build ourselves a prison we can never escape, like farms are for cow.
          But if that ever happens, at least there is hope that a very large asteroid will sterilize this planet down to the last spore.
          I only pray the infection has not spread to other stars before this happens.

      Oh it’s easy, anyone talking about “child pornography” is obviously just using manipulative emotional talking points related to children to cloud the discussion. This person has forfeited their right to free speech and has outed themselves as an enemy of self-determination.

      You can tell because all the people invoking “think of the children” never actually care about children in their action, except maybe for their children, but not children as an abstract concept.

      What they really want is to read your emails, your correspondence, know your plans and your thoughts so they can subjugate you and enslave you for their own benefits. Those people are the enemy of every human and should be treated with less mercy than witches at Salem.

      Stop playing their game, they ALWAYS do this and they always brow beat their little transparent evil plans.

      You want my answer when they ask “how will you be able to distinguish between encrypted child pornography”, you go to the person that asked and punch their clock right the fuck out, take that you fucking dickhead ! And then spit in their face as they go down.

      If you care about children how about you don’t fucking cut their food ration out of the budget, you horrible ghouls and vampires !

      Easy: encrypt CSAM. If the hashes match… Gotta have the encryption key, though. But you mustn’t use for decryption. Only encryption

        PhotoDNA already exists. But you would have to break end to end encryption on a lot of services to run such server-side checks (as client-side checks are not trustworthy)
