2021-05-10 Messaging and Chat Control

The End of the Privacy of Digital Correspondence, by Patrick Breyer: “This is to allow the providers of Facebook Messenger, Gmail, et al, to scan every message for suspicious text and images. This takes place in a fully automated process and using error-prone “artificial intelligence”. If an algorithm considers a message suspicious, its content and meta-data are disclosed automatically and without human verification to a private US-based organization and from there to national police authorities worldwide. The reported users are not notified.”

I’m not very happy with the XMPP server’s I’m on. Have you tried it, with a client on the phone, encrypting all your messages? My impression is that this isn’t very friendly.
