Isn’t EU’s justification that they protect you from companies / private industry but they want full government/police control because that’s trusted / socialist?
What makes you say that? A lot of it was heavily impacted by industry, who were by far the biggest contributors during the drafting process.
> And anything but full trust of government also wouldn’t fit with chat control.
I agree with this, but chat control isn't a top-down proposal. It's based on a solid grassroots movement aiming to combat CSAM. Personally I think it's misguided, but there is a _lot_ of public support for online regulation to stem the endless cases of CSAM.
It's a real blind-spot of HN and devs to miss this, as if we don't find ways to effectively end CSAM online, stronger less-targeting regulation like the proposed Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse is inevitable>
