If you've followed me a long time, you've seen my transition from a "#linkblogger" (5-15 short hits/day) to an "essay-#blogger" (5-7 articles/week). I'm loving the new mode but returning to linkblogging is also intensely, unexpectedly gratifying:

My last #linkblogging foray was so great - and my link-backlog is so large - that I'm doing another one.

Et une nouvelle analyse particulièrement critique, venant d'un Gus qui est tout sauf le perdreau de l'année, sur le projet de la Commission 🇪🇺 visant à scanner l'ensemble du trafic Internet et correspondance privée #ChatControl #CSAM ⬇️
Ainsi que le Contrôleur Européen de la Protection des Données. Notons également un problème de méthode : toute la discussion s'effectue à huis-clos #ChatControl #CSAM

The classic #trilemma goes: "Fast, cheap or good, pick any two." The #ModeratorsTrilemma goes, "Large, diverse userbase; centralized platforms; don't anger users - pick any two." 1/

🧵NEW: Reporting shows continued deceptive messaging of Eliza Bleu, Ella Irwin, and Elon Musk re: CSAM on Twitter.
CSAM "persisted on the platform, including widely circulated material that the authorities consider the easiest to detect and eliminate."

Staff on Twitter responsible for detection/removal of Child Sexual Abuse Material have quit or been fired.

🇨🇮 Breaking news from Ireland: @ICCLtweet latest investigation shows no one can be protected by making the internet less secure.
Data supports EDRi’s new position paper, denouncing #CSAR proposal as having naïve faith in tech as a silver bullet.

2/ In 2020, from all referrals of #CSAM the US NCMEC sent to the Irish police ⚠️ just 20% were actually CSAM & less than 10% were actionable. Nevertheless, the Irish police❗️kept the data on people wrongfully accused.

Today (now) LIBE Group in the EU Parliament will debate a proposed law which will require total surveillance of ALL online communications and messenger services of ALL EU persons.

As a survivor of child sexual and physical abuse, I would never have had the confidence to tell my story if I didn’t have access to confidential communications channels.
It took 25 years for the Police to finally investigate and prosecute my case, leading to multiple convictions for sexual assaults against myself and 27 other boys at my boarding school.
After quite a few months working on the #CSAM proposal, and as the EC's consultation is due to finishing today at midnight, here are my (very personal) thoughts on a draft text that comes from a good place, but could have disastrous consequences : a thread 👇
First and foremost : we are in dire need of action against the systemic sexual abuse of children (CSA). The refit of the 2011 directive is more than urgent, and cooperation between intermediaries, NGOs and Law Enforcement Authorities is needed. No question about that.

However, what I fail to comprehend is how a text supposed to "fight and prevent" CSA will achieve preventing and fighting it without any ambitious measure when it comes to
a) scientific research on the topic
b) real, IRL prevention policies

Mark's toddler had a painful, swollen penis; the nurse asked him to email a picture for a telemedicine consultation. Gmail automatically detected the picture of a child's penis and contacte the SFPD, accusing Mark of molesting his son.

Mark and his wife took several pictures of their son's penis, including one that contained Mark's hand. The child had a bacterial infection, which was quickly alleviated with antibiotics that the doctor prescribed via telemedicine. 3/

Today the European Commission will publish a proposal for a new law which will make the interception, analysis and monitoring of *ALL* digital communications (messengers, forums, direct messages etc.) mandatory.

Let me be clear - this is ILLEGAL under EU Treaties and Case Law under the principles of proportionality and necessity. This new law will turn the EU into a surveillance state.

L'enfers est pavé de bonnes intentions : un projet de la Commission ambitionne d'imposer aux intermédiaires techniques (hébergeurs & fournisseurs) de scanner ce qui relevait jusqu'à présent de la correspondance privée pour lutter contre l'exploitation sexuelle des mineurs ⬇️
Sur un sujet aux implications techniques majeures (car en corollaire une demande d'affaiblissement du chiffrement), la moindre des choses serait d'avoir un débat éclairé au niveau parlementaire. A date le secret des correspondances est constitutionnellement garanti ⬇️
Et c'est loin d'être anodin, car figure toi Twitter que l'interdiction pour l'opérateur de messagerie (à l'époque postale, mais étendu par la suite au télégraphe, puis téléphone, télex, minitel, Internet…) de connaitre du contenu de ce qu'il achemine date de la Révolution.

Auch nach dem #Leak eines Prüfberichts für die EU-Kommission ist unklar, was genau sie im Schilde führt. Mehrmals verschobene Veröffentlichung (derzeit: 27.04., ggf. später) zeigt, dass am Entwurf noch geschraubt wird.

Wir rechnen damit, dass die #Verschlüsselung privater Chatnachrichten ausgehebelt werden soll, indem Apps verpflichtend alle Nachrichten nach verdächtigen Inhalten durchsuchen müssen, bevor diese versendet werden. Ob außer Messengern auch weitere Dienste ... (3/11)
Apple's on-your-iPhone #CSAM scanning — using your phone's resources to check whether you're a paedophile — is illiberal, misconceived, and dangerously architected. WORSE: they tie the hands even of those who they claim will vouch for Apple's honesty…
Apple's "Appeal to Code Inspection" as a solution for trusting their #CSAM photo scanning is… a fig leaf. It's a PR spin meant to obscure something dirty — if they were serious, why not Open-Source iPhoto with reproducible builds? — but worse it ACTUALLY detracts from the issue.
The ACTUAL issue is that "what happens on your iPhone no longer stays on your iPhone"; that promise is broken, and the privacy of your phone will be in constant tension with the iCloud team's ongoing attempts to coerce you to use, and pay for, locked-in cloud storage.

Why is #Apple getting so much heat over its new Child Protection Mesures?
They are well-intentioned, present no risk to anyone who doesn't store child abuse material on their devices, and, frankly, there's nothing new here

#Facebook has been using #algorithms to detect child abuse images since at least 2018 (which the CEO of Facebook-owned #WhatsApp seemed to have forgotten when he launched an outraged #Twitter tirade at Apple's new measures last week)

Here's an important thread on a situation that is threatening the lives and well-being of children globally if allowed to continue to it's conclusion. Bear with me -it's complicated but there are things you can do to help at the end.

companies exist to make profit for their shareholders and in a low-regulation environment it's sometimes hard for them to justify expenditure to deal with the dark-side of the human condition because it is the antithesis of line one of this tweet.
Thousands of men and women work in hard #moderation, #lawenforcement and #networkadmin so you are not exposed to this #darkside of humans amplified by the internet.
.@DailyMail, don't use terms like #paedohpile. There are people with paedophilic disorder, & not all abuse children. Help is available, but stigmatizing people makes it less likely they will get help & can increase the risk to children.

Yes it's #paedophile, thank you @SandraSilguero for noticing. There are several reasons why using "paedophile" as a synonym for child sexual abuse offenders, or people who sexually exploit children, is problematic & counterproductive when fighting the crime.
1. It is inaccurate. Although people who commit #ChildSexualAbuse are sometimes #paedophiles, those with a paedophilic disorder have a sustained primary or exclusive sexual interest in pre-pubescent children. i.e. those who abuse teenagers are not necessarily paedophiles.
