The EU commission has proposed a new law to protect children against abuse. The cause is good, but the law itself is bad, because it requires that online services with messaging functionality have to be surveilled if there is a possibility for children to use the service or if users could potentially use the service to exchange child abuse material. This will affect many communication services and it will mean that your communication will be scanned, because all users of regular communication services will be treated as suspects for child abuse.
