Europol wants unfetted access to all European digital comms

While the EU was discussing a law that would "require digital chat providers to scan client content for child sexual abuse material", Europol (the law enforcement agency of the European Union) wanted "unlimited access to the data produced from the detection and scanning of communications, and that no boundaries be set on how this data is used". In the same meeting "Europol proposed that detection be expanded to other crime areas beyond CSAM, and suggested including them in the proposed regulation". Come on man, I get that you want to solve all crimes, all the time, without leaving your desk, but can you at least pretend to give a shit about the privacy of your citizens???
