The dystopian set of regulations that would enable active scanning of messages and media on everyone's devices, even in encrypted form, is set to be greenlit in 2 days, on June 20th.

This post goes in detail about this topic. A handful of countries have not decided yet. Take action now!

I am posting this here as a PSA to anyone from EU to raise awareness. I know I've been inactive lately, and that is unlikely to change, but I felt this was important to discuss.

Unfortunate you live in a world where you think that.

That is incorrect. Anyhow, is this yet another piece of "regulation" that will not affect Steam or Steam users?

Read the regulations. They're right there.

Ah yes, because the local police can totally take care of that.

yes, it's to let them know you were threatened and people are trying to tarnish your reputation, it already exists as i said, ask any big influencer or streamer

when hogwarts legacy was released, there was a J K Rowling controversy and a streamer decided he would play the game anyways,

one of his criminal fans was very unhappy and threatened to fabricate fake CP with the streamers face and AI as he is a streamer and there are thousands of hours of footage of his face on his channel,

the streamer reported this to the police and came forward with the story on social media to preserve his image.

you screenshot everything and go to the police if something like that ever happens to you.

So you're saying the police did nothing. Like I said they would.

Thanks.

False.

Well, you live in a world where the CIA and NSA can read (or listen to) any private communication, not only in American territory. That's nothing new, and like I said only criminals fear the CIA and NSA.

Except you didn't say that originally.

You should learn the history of government organizations.

I think they have chat ban bots, right here on Steam. One of them, may even be amongst us at this moment. Anyhow, even here in the states the Government Accountability Office has made recommendations, that even hits home here on Steam, as far as law enforcement going thru these sites and forums.

They can take pictures, they can do anything with this stuff.

Again, as i said to the American audience, we have to be careful what we say on the internet, and that means anywhere.

yes but i was originally letting you know that criminals didn't wait for this law to start threatening people with such things and that you can defend yourself in such cases

I never said they waited for this law or implied it.

I'm also doubting there was an arrest since you didn't initially say so.

Oh, this conspiracy about me being a bot again?

Let's not derail this thread with the same misinformation that has been corrected.

That is correct.

There are others with much more.

But I can't stop conspiracy theorists. Only laugh.

Pretty sure no government spy will read your chat

Absolutely not.

An AI will and it'll profile you and everyone else according to what it reads.

Beware who defines 'criminal'.

Beware who you elect?

Anyway, that's an entirely different issue, one that has always existed whether the government spies on your private chat or not.

I'm sure it also totally won't be sold to corporations for focused ads either.

Governments never act like buddies to huge corporations and allow them information they shouldn't.

Until it applies to you. 🙂

Nah man.

Journalists who report on corrupt officials are the same as criminals who distribute CSAM. Just trust the feds bro.
