[German EP member (MEP) Patrick Breyer] ... went on to explain that the upcoming regulation is set up in a way that will result in the end of the privacy of people’s digital communications, since the subject of content searches will be “millions” of chats and photos, including those belonging to persons who have no links to child sexual abuse.
And because the technology proposed to carry out the mass surveillance is unreliable, there are also risks of this content getting leaked.
Another “victim” of the regulation is end-to-end encryption, which Breyer says will be undermined by client-side scanning.
