What point do you think you're making?

My interpretation: advocating for privacy without making effort to avoid a large part of the society goes "crazy" will not protect you much on the long term.

I do like "engineering solutions" (ex: not storing too much data), but I start to think it is important to make more effort on more broad social, legal and political aspects.

EU is literally debating about "Chat Control". Its purpose is to scan for child sexual abuse material in internet traffic. But its at the cost of breaking end to end encryption.

> Its purpose is to scan

That's its ostensible, purported, show purpose.

The real purpose is to break end to end encryption to increase government surveillance and power. "But think of the children" or "be afraid of the terrorists" are just the excuses those in power rotate through to to achieve their true desired ends.

I wouldn't be surprised that Trump goes one step further. He is so unleashed, and irrational. This guy is a liability for humanity

It's a hell of lot harder to enforce...

Harder than ethnicity or sexual orientation or religion?

Without privacy of those things? Yes.

Absolutely - there are quite a few attempts in this direction.

Yes, that is indeed the point.
