MODERATORS
I thought the chat control law idea kinda died already
nope, they'll vote on it again in the few weeks. if it passes, e2ee messengers will be required to scan images on device before sending them. you will be able to not agree to that, but then you won't be able to send or receive media and links, only text.

What does "scan" mean here?

I read that and hoped for further information.
In fact it would be "scanned" by AI for searching all the kinda sexual, abusive stuff... In fact to protect children
But the link described it as if it'll do database matching to find well-known images.
That's why it's a scan, like done apple with their gallery. Scan signatures, AI recognition etc...
No, what I've interpret from the webpage is far more basic. Just matching images, almost like pixel-by-pixel. If you think about it, legally describing your interpretation (Apple's gallery) is very challenging and is thus possibly infeasible.
As a result, my feeling is that the EU is going with a far inferior method that doesn't have to send images to the server. Technically speaking (they might still require that).
