I seriously doubt the majority of cases are recorded and uploaded to the internet.

No, but "we've got to hunt down every image" isn't really an argument which ends there, so it might go further in the future.

It's not that I don't want to give you a sunny solution which makes the problem go away forever, but this is an extremely difficult problem to solve, especially as someone might be…

France has been pushing terrorism as a justification for mass-surveillance in the E.U.

Security by obscurity has never been particularly effective, and there are some articles which allege that detection algorithms can be defeated fairly easily.

There have certainly been busts in the media, including some depraved individuals who have blackmailed teenagers into sending them images, one of which set the dangerous precedent …

It's well-known that this algorithm doesn't have a perfect matching rate. It'd be easy to presume that any false positives are not erroneously tagged images, but the error rate of …

The FBI doesn't even have the resources to review all the reports they do get (we learned that in 2019), and yet they want to intrude on everyone's rights to get even more to inves…

As many, many people have pointed out, building a mechanism to scan things client-side is something which could easily be extended to encrypted content, and perhaps, is intended to…

Moving the scanning to the client side is clearly an attempt to move towards scanning content which is about to be posted on encrypted services, otherwise they could do it on the s…

It doesn't mean they can't look at the matches without jailing you (still a violation of privacy).

Well, it's a lot like everything. No one wants abusers, murderers, and others out and about. But then, we can't search everyone's homes all of the time for dead bodies, or other cr…

There have been child abuse victims who have openly condemned this sort of intrusion on privacy, although they obviously don't speak for them all.

But, are they? The Swiss federal police weren't too happy about the reports they received from the Cyber Tip.

A good start would be for the government to stop trying to bully tech companies into compromising on their privacy.

Is there any reason they shouldn't have adoption rights? What's the harm in that?

I don't think it is possible to turn someone who is straight gay, anymore than it is possible to turn someone who is gay straight. The exception would be where they're bi, but they…

I presume they meant ones who have committed crimes, rather than ones who roughly fit a profile of who might commit homicide. I agree that profiling someone like this could lead in…

There's another side. Conversion therapy of any form is inhumane. It makes someone deny their very identity. It may even drive them to suicide. And for what, so someone doesn't get…

My question would be closer to, how would you feel if someone high up decided to strip away your attraction to women, and replace it with an attraction to men, because they deemed …
