Before everyone shoots schadenfreude at the Evil Monopoly Man Bigtechs, please remember this is the same government that is trying valiantly to ban/backdoor E2E encryption. It should be implicitly distrusted. A few things they want, per the press release:

- scanning twitter DMs, google chat, gmail, google messages, discord messages, and google meet for "sextortion" with "language analysis"

- automatically watching all video calls for CSEA

- policing the above (through unspecified means) for "grooming"

So before jumping on "muh elon bad" and "muh bigtech needs regulation" think about what exactly they're trying to regulate and how.

So I can't have a private conversation with my Father who lives in another country via the internet, because the only solution we have to unwanted child porn is legal mandates against secret conversations.

Come on, we're smarter than this.

Why FAANG has not already crushed child porn for geolocations that don't want it, is beyond me... shooting itself in the foot and giving Australia ammunition to join in. Why.

That don't want it? I don't think that qualifier was required.
