: regardless of which chat app you use (if even any): if you want to help protect children from being (sexually) abused, wake up everyone who thinks that Chatcontrol will solve that problem.

On the contrary, it will make things worse: not a single abused child will be found while the number of (police) officers, who chase actual abusers of children, will decrease. More info via https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113090311124341304.

There are a zillion of other reasons why Chatcontrol won't save children but will cause havoc: it is *hard* to *re-detect* known CSAM video's (https://safer.io/resources/video-hashing-challenges/) while it is impossible to reliably detect abuse of children in live streams.

The challenge of detecting CSAM videos and what we can do about it today

In 2019, Thorn CEO Julie Cordua delivered a TED talk about eliminating child sexual abuse material from the internet. In that talk, she explained how hash sharing will be a critical tool in helping us achieve that goal.
