Data shows that the EU's CSAM scanning will not have the intended effect
I'm going to slightly modify and repeat comment of mine I wrote here on another post for the same topic:<p>According to the DKSB (Deutscher Kinderschutzbund) [1], encryption barely plays a role when it comes to the distribution of CSAM [2].

You know, the people that probably know what they are talking about when it comes to the protection of children, unlike the politicians who are trying to force this through.<p>The politicians which only really talked to salesmen of surveillance software [3] about this and never really consulted any independent people with expertise in tech, privacy or the protection of children [4].<p>Because this was never, at any moment, about protecting children.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.dksb.de/en/home/" rel="nofollow">https://www.dksb.de/en/home/</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://www.eu-info.de/dpa-europaticker/316232.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.eu-info.de/dpa-europaticker/316232.html</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://netzpolitik.org/2022/dude-wheres-my-privacy-how-a-hollywood-star-lobbies-the-eu-for-more-surveillance/" rel="nofollow">https://netzpolitik.org/2022/dude-wheres-my-privacy-how-a-ho...</a><p>[4]: <a href="https://edri.org/our-work/private-and-secure-communications-put-at-risk-by-european-commissions-latest-proposal/" rel="nofollow">https://edri.org/our-work/private-and-secure-communications-...</a>
