Runbox posted a warning on Bluesky about the proposed Chat Control law that would mean all emails will be scanned for content,including encrypted ones.

Heres another article on the Chat Control law.

At its core, the EU?s Chat Control proposal would require digital platforms to scan users? private communications for harmful content. This includes not only traditional social networks but also encrypted messaging services like WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, and possibly email providers.

Under the current draft of the proposal, providers would be required to implement client-side scanning tools that detect and flag suspected child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or grooming behaviors before messages are encrypted and sent. Whats the point of having ENCRYPTED messages if they are gonna be spied on???

This is happening in Europe, not the US. We stopped being a British colony 249 years ago. Nothing for anyone here to worry about..

There should be a holiday for that. We just need to pick a month and date.

They've tried spying on Americans way back when and it didn't work out too well.
