Hundreds of academics and engineers and non-profit organizations such as Reporters Without Borders, as well as the Council of Europe, believe that the Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR) would mean sacrificing confidentiality on the internet, and that this price is unaffordable for democracies.
The European Data Protection Supervisor, who is preparing a statement on this for late October, has said that it could become the basis for the de facto widespread and indiscriminate scanning of all EU communications. The proposed regulation, often referred to by critics as Chat Control, holds companies that provide communication services responsible for ensuring that unlawful material does not circulate online. If, after undergoing a risk assessment, it is determined that they are a channel for pedophiles, these services will have to implement automatic screening.
The mastermind behind the billboards and newspaper exhortations calling on Apple to detect pedophile material on iCloud is, reportedly, a non-profit organization called Heat Initiative, which is part of a crusade against the encryption of communications known in the U.S. as Crypto Wars. This movement has gone from fighting against terrorism to combating the spread of online child pornography to request the end of encrypted messages, the last great pocket of privacy left on the internet. “It is significant that the U.S., the European Union and the United Kingdom are simultaneously processing regulations that, in practice, will curtail encrypted communications. It seems like a coordinated effort,” says Diego Naranjo, head of public policies at the digital rights non-profit EDRi.

Switching between massively different excuses always with the same goal in mind - to end encryption. They don’t care at all about their excuses or else they would be proposing other ideas that might actually help. But no, all they want is to end encryption and the privacy of everyone online.
Sadly there is no perfect desition, I would sacrifice privacy to protect child . But There should be always multiple options, not just one . I really hope some genius can find a tech solution were people privacy can be protected and we can also fight atrocities like child abuse.
This problem is not solved by a technical solution, a backdoor.
It is solved by adding manual reporting functionality to communication systems, and then teaching children to report any such atrocities.If they cannot decide for themselves, that only means one thing: they don’t know what to do with it, or they don’t trust their caretakers (parents, school personnel and similar parties), which are the actual problems to be solved.
Teaching children? Decide themselves? , wtf dude, you don’t have children right ? You can rely this massive issue on that

I’m in America and I honestly thought we’d see this kind of FUD here first.
Make no mistake about it though, the governments of the world want to make encryption and other privacy tools solely their domain.
They’ve already done so extensively in China.
Prepare yourselves, for Big Brother is at our doorsteps.
