This bullshit again. I thought this was rejected or put on hold a few months ago?
It was postponed yesterday. My post is from earlier before it was announced that it was postponed. And the article I posted was from that day I posted it.
What you’re probably referring to was the earlier attempt to get this through. This was years ago actually. They refined the bill and tried again this year. This is what this is.
One of the proposals was to not touch the e2e, but rather scan whatever you upload before it gets encrypted. You should be able to opt out, but in that case be unable to upload any files.
A counter argument to this specific proposal was that it would exclude people from social interactions.
