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.
