A community for Lemmy users interested in privacy
Rules:
Chat control mandates a piece of software on your device that spies on what you do and sends that to the government and their partners.
Chat control does not protect children.
Chat control is a way for governments to stay in front of any dissent and organizing efforts from it's citizens. This makes it safer and easier to take away rights and ultimately gives a path away from democracy.
This is what the article says:
What's been nicknamed by its critics, Chat Control, is the European Commission's response to online child safety. As per the latest iteration of the text, all messaging platforms operating in the EU would be obliged to scan all URLs, pictures, and videos shared by their users in the lookout for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

I really hate modern media. What's wrong with criticise, condemn, or even denounce?
Just you wait until the EU will CLAP BACK at the critics.
Chat Control Slammed, EU Claps Booty
Come on and SLAM

Make some noise b-boys
If all parents checked their children device just a bit... I'm struggling to block some yt channels now for example either via DNS or family link, but there's no way. Help parents do these kind of things instead of letting govs go the privacy breach way to make us dumb citizens.
This has nothing to do with children. It's a proposal by technologically inept people who argue that encryption needs to be removed but encryption is so basic that it isn't really feasible to do so. You can make the access harder but that is only an issue for your average joe. Individuals with criminal energy who this is supposed to be about will continue to encrypt their communication while regular users will give up their privacy.
At the age of 15 I programmed my own decentralised encrypted messenger from first principles (like did the math from scratch) just to prove how easy it is to do. If a 15year old with no ai can do it then fucking anyone can.
If privacy becomes illegal only criminals will have privacy.
I don’t think you can block YouTube channels via DNS.
insert joke about the OSI model
Definitely a layer 8 problem
Are you stupid? There's no layer...
...oh I see.
Yes, I'd rather call it the Ötzi model
DNS should allow us to create a blacklist of sites, it would avoid to trash our phone CPU for some useless antivirus, family link (and I guess other MDM) is already enough. If not the DNS, then family link itself.
But a YouTube “channel” is an application/service specific concept, not exposed in any way dns would be aware of.
Help parents do these kind of things
No offense to parents of Lemmy and I am not generalising too much, but in my experience, many parents are lazy. I'm sure you'd have heard from your own parents or another the expression "didn't they teach you that in school?" Parents pass on the responsibility to someone else who have their own social boundaries when it comes to teaching children.
That's why I try to push ChromeOS and family link so much, it's the only 100% good thing Google created for free, both for school and family mdm. And once they're e 18 they'll be free to roam with MS, apple, Linux or whatever they want
Back to IRC then I guess?
which is not end-to-end encrypted either
Honestly so many nations are in the same page with this, I think it's preparation for wartime.
You need to not only he able to track down foreign agents, but also yeah strangle dissent and control the narrative.
Not saying it's good one way or the other, but everyone trying to do a similar (hated) thing at the same time is way too coincidental.
