Re: Not the problem

The German government committe on Digital Agenda yesterday openly criticised it, saying it should be removed immediately.

Digital Agenda chairman Manuel Höferlin (FDP): CSAM is the :

“größte Dammbruch für die Vertraulichkeit der Kommunikation, den wir seit der Erfindung des Internets erleben” (The biggest dam burst for the trust in communications, that we have seen since the invention of the Internet.)

“Every scanned content destroys the trust of users, that their communications are not being monitored. Without trusted communications, the Internet will become the biggest surveillance instrument in history.”
