#2Could push for increasing surveillance be related to the recent adoption of digital social credit, CBDC (digital currency), and predictive policy systems in EU countries such as itlay, Netherlands, denmark, and the US?
You would need a continous stream of data for building those.
It makes a lot of sense if you look at it as countries trying to replicate success of Chinese growth and systems which are highly centralized and depend on the above factors.

#4> In its draft law to combat child sexual abuse
It seems like the idea is to oppress people so much it takes their minds off of the sexual abuse they suffered in childhood.

I think those of us who value our privacy are going to have to draw a line sooner or later.
Do we want to combat child sexual abuse? Yes, but not at any cost. Are there things more important than combating child sexual abuse? Yes, such as our digital privacy. Are we willing to make the job of the authorities more difficult in combating child abuse in the name of privacy? The answer is yes.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

#7Yeah not like this. I will turn myself into a black hole as much as possible.
If they somehow ever come to suspect me of these things I will gladly do anything I can to support their investigations. They can come by with a warrant, look through my message history specifically and only for evidence related to their investigation, it will happen in my presence, and no copies of my data will be made and/or fed into the basilisk. You know, how it would normally go.
What in the world are they thinking over there.

The problem is they only need to win once. What we really need is an immutable section in the EU constitution that anyone who tries to take away basic privacy rights like this is immediately tried for crimes against humanity and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

#9CSAM is terrible but how common is it to justify invading all of our privacy. Cars can kill people. Should we ban those? We know alcohol is damaging, maybe we should ruin that fun for everyone too.
