> It never stops with CSAM either, pretty soon it's terrorism and whatever vague new definition they use.

But PhotoDNA has been scanning cloud photos (Google, Dropbox, Microsoft, etc.,) to detect CSAM content for a decade now and this "pretty soon it's terrorism" slippery slope hasn't yet manifested, has it?

If the slope was going to be slippery, wouldn't we have seen some evidence of that by now?

Don’t be so naive. It took less than 3 years for dns blocking to go from csam to copyright infringement. It always was about building censorship infra. I’ve been fighting internet censorship for over a decade and it only gets worse and worse every generation of technology. I want to throw all this government spyware away. Dystopia landed a long time ago.
