According to the latest draft text of the controversial EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation proposal leaked by the French news organisation Contexte, EU interior ministers want to exempt professional accounts of staff of intelligence agencies, police and military from the envisaged scanning of chats and messages (Article 1 (2a)). The regulation should also not apply to ‘confidential information’ such as professional secrets (Article 1 (2b)). The EU governments reject the idea that the new EU Child Protection Centre should support them in the prevention of child sexual abuse and develop best practices for prevention initiatives (Article 43(8)), writes Pirate Party MEP Patrick Breyer.

    I am so incredibly surprised by this…

    Who am I kidding it was clear from the start they were going to do this. It just further proves that:

    • they know this shit erodes any semblance of private digital communications down to the bedrock
    • this thing being for “the protection of children” is just a front for them to lie it into effect

    At this point I cannot take any politician seriously who would vote “yes” to this surveilance law given the blatant malicious intent behind it.
