This would be really easy to detect. Just look at the certificate chain.

It would be trivial to make a plugin to warn the user of this, at which point they know they're under surveillance which would be worse than just doing human surveillance IMO.

Almost nothing coming out of the EU that touches encryption makes sense these days, even when viewed from their own perspective. It's like they are desperate to get any kind of crypto regulation into the door before some deadline and consequences be damned.

I say this with the upmost request to their politicians, but their politicians have no clue what they're doing. They clearly don't understand how any of this works. None of what they propose can solve the issues they claim they want to solve. Not this, not client-side scanning, nothing. I genuinely wonder who's "advising" them on this stuff and what their true motives are.

It's sad to see the EU like this but nothing lasts forever. I feel sad for the next generations. They'll be the ones to bare the full brunt of these misguided regulations.
