The government, however, has said the bill does not ban end-to-end encryption.
Instead it will require companies to take action to stop child abuse on their platforms and as a last resort develop technology to scan encrypted messages, it has said.
Tech companies have said scanning messages and end-to-end encryption are fundamentally incompatible.
Jesus Christ how staggeringly incompetent is the national government that no tech ceo can find a way to explain to them there is no way to govern content without having access to it via a known backdoor, which very plainly is to fundamentally break encryption.
Let's propose a bill that forces them to find a way to invent a flashable laser beam that scans for government corruption that happens behind closed doors, even private residences, and if they miss anything, the entire cabinet will be fined and must legally be fired before next election.
You see the bill doesn't make you responsible for all corruption in every back alley everywhere, only for not immediately detecting and stopping it before it takes hold, in any shape or form not currently possible.
Fucking morons. Don't we decide who is smart enough to be voted into government? These people are the best we can come up with? This what I think people mean when they say voting is pointless.
