At least in the EU they're going after the tech corporations and commercial operations and not necessarily outlawing grassroots diy software use.

The line of argument that criminals would be too smart to stay on commercial services is not really robust, as catching just the not so smart ones would be good enough for politicians. There are better arguments.

(The upcoming EU "chat control" mechanism is about similar remotely triggerable client-side fuzzy searching ).
