An open letter against Apple's new privacy-invasive client-side content scanning
Related but slightly off-topic: am I the only one that thinks more technology is not the answer to catching crooks?
 Can’t the police do good old fashioned police work to catch people doing these things?
Why does EVERYONE need to be surveilled for the 0.01% (or less?) who don’t behave properly.
To further this point: why do we need cameras on every street, facial recognition systems and 3-letter orgs storing huge data silos and maintaining lists etc etc…
One thought: is it because over 10, 20, 30+ years the police have been de-funded everywhere and become useless for difficult cases and&#x2F;or militarised to deal with peaceful protesters instead?
Genuine questions.. I just don’t think this surveillance nightmare is the answer, and police could still catch crooks before the internet so what’s the problem.
