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.

So the implication is that keeping the masses in check is the primary goal and protecting the children was the incidental part?

Protecting children has never been an intention or an outcome with these laws.

We do this to find criminals, drugsdealers, paedophiles and terrorists. MEPS are never part of any of those groups.

Rules for thee and not for me.

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?

as always
