They fucking finally said the quiet part loud! Make a dystopian filtering system with CSAM as an excuse, then use it for filtering piracy, unauthorized gambling sites (but just because they're not paying the taxes, not because actually caring about the citizens mental health), and so on

The UK just passed this exact law. They say it's to protect children, but it requires all companies to build a backdoor into their end to end encryption specifically so they can spy on users for "inappropriate material that is harmful to children."

Is that the one that explicitely includes "positive depictions of refugees arriving" in the laws text?
