you know whats funny?
even if this passes it still wont do jack shit because for the message scanning to effectively bypass encryption they need to be read before they're sent, which means modifying the OS on phone and basically installing a backdoor on your device
For this law to be effective they need to prevent people from installing custom smartphone OSes which is pretty much impossible. US police is already breaking their balls trying to break into GrapheneOS smartphones and such with no success, so it's not about criminals
and UK pretty much admitted that their face scanning laws aren't really about protecting minors
It's about suppressing dissent. Things are about to get a lot shittier and you, the common man will have to carry the brunt of it. Monitoring messages is about disrupting communications among people so they cannot act as one and threaten the status quo.
