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.
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???

Re: Chat Control law would scan your emails for content
So encrypt your content then attach to the email so the client software never gets to see it. The receiver detaches the content, then decrypts it. Anyone hiding stuff still hides it and it only removes privacy from the ordinary folk.
