It appears the Dutch government has decided to greenlight the EU plan to make 'big tech' force-install software on all European phones that will automatically report any questionable photos in your private chat messages to the police.

It appears the Dutch government has decided to greenlight the EU plan to make 'big tech' force-install software on all European phones that will automatically report any questionable photos in your private chat messages to the police. This is not actually about protecting the children. This is about removing the very possibility of private communications. We can tell because governments have exempted themselves from this legislation (!). Here's something I wrote earlier: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/end-to-end-encryption-european-internet-forum/

It appears likely that the Dutch government will decide on their βchat controlβ position today. Yesterday parliament demanded the release of ministerial advice leading up to this decision. If this passes WhatsApp will have to scan all your photos for known child pornography and in 5 years with AI for generic detection. Detection leads to a report to Meta and thence Europol and local police.

Although the CSAM -regulation was on the agenda of the Dutch council of ministers, no decision was reached according to the minister of Justice Van Weel. Reportedly he cited open questions on technical viability, and if this would only move the problem elsewhere. More later. The agenda: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/vergaderstukken/2024/09/27/agenda-ministerraad-27-september-2024/agenda-ministerraad-20240927.pdf

The official list of decisions of the council of ministers mentions the CSAM proposal only as βdiscussedβ! Confirming that there is no decision yet. https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/binaries/rijksoverheid/documenten/vergaderstukken/2024/09/27/besluitenlijst-ministerraad-27-september-2024/besluitenlijst-ministerraad-20240927.pdf
