wait you're telling me that all this time governments could have just threatened CEOs with jail time over not doing something?? why not start by jailing the zucc for his company directly partaking in sex trafficking children?? - why do they need to scan every message ever sent if we already have evidence of this happening and no-one is being held accountable?? or what about all the epstein pedophiles - where is bill gates' arrest warrant?? if any of this was ever to protect children this is where they would start....

Wait so they’ll jail CEOs for not giving them what they want, but they won’t jail CEOs for causing mass destruction of the earth? Wtf

I propose that any government official seeking (more) mass surveillance be immediately told "no", thrown out of office, and prosecuted.

You had me until "out of office" ... "from a great height" was right there!!

I expected that astute readers would notice the opportunity on their own. :)

Perhaps the defenestration could be an escalating affair: Use a ground floor window the first time. Add a floor for each subsequent offence. Add a floor for each co-conspirator supporting the mass surveillance attempt.

I guess they'll have to get religious exemptions. Like with the "swords/blades".

It's just more client-side scanning. We all know what this is at this point.

People are gonna start running their own mail servers.

As in email? You must be joking. They are the worst. Even for encryption they are bad. They leak metadata like crazy.

Matrix is a step up. Unless that's what you mean by "mail server".
