As an aside, a great deal of CSAM is shared through Facebook, they've been asked by CSAM survivors to stop this and they said no. The advocacy survivor group Phoenix 11 submitted six formal questions in the US Congress to old Zuckface fuckface about it, as he deployed end to end encryption which makes this possible, which he dodged like the lying fuck he is. Zuck would sell it himself if it made him a whole dollar and nobody should forget that.

I completely disagree with your take here.

The idea that we shouldn't have services with end to end encryption because "think of the children" is an absurd take to have.

I think you're being upvoted because its anti Zuckerberg, but seriously people, think about the long term consequences of not being able to chat without being spied on.

Yeah, that argument is shit wrapped in a candy shell. Too many people'll swallow it without so much as a blink. 🥲

A case of indoctrination by the government, that's what they expect - a stream of false narratives utilising children as the weapon.

Which is frustrating as every single time the government wanted to expand surveillance on regular citizens, preventing this is always touted as the justification. Now we have all the surveillance and the monopolies are like 'Nah, exploitation is profitable'.
