    the british government literally tried to outlaw encrypting anything online, because “it could be CSAM”.

    the EU wanted to make chat history available to police, and they, again, tried to make it about CSAM.

      OK that’s idiotic, and I’m guessing it didn’t go though, so your freedom of speech wasn’t really compromised.

      IDK about that, but it should require a warrant as a minimum, and in that case sounds OK to me.
