According to the latest draft text of the controversial EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation proposal leaked by the French news organisation Contexte, EU interior ministers want to exempt professional accounts of staff of intelligence agencies, police and military from the envisaged scanning of chats and messages (Article 1 (2a)). The regulation should also not apply to ‘confidential information’ such as professional secrets (Article 1 (2b)). The EU governments reject the idea that the new EU Child Protection Centre should support them in the prevention of child sexual abuse and develop best practices for prevention initiatives (Article 43(8)), writes Pirate Party MEP Patrick Breyer.
Just remember “terrorism” is a generic term these days. Russia invaded Ukraine over “terrorism.”
It wouldn’t shock me if they started carefully monitoring political views to detect anything the state doesn’t like.
Started?
Don’t fall victim to language nihilism. It’s much better to say “hey buddy, that’s not terrorism, you are a fucking liar and your deliberate misuse of language disrespects the real victims of terrorism.” They want us to lose objective truth, which is why it’s so important to fight back.
