Security and privacy require a careful balance. Regulatory proposals like the EU’s “Chat Control” signal a shift in digital policy. They introduce on-device scanning of messages and images before encryption. How much privacy are we willing to give up for security? cc byte

@byteboro PRIVACY = LIBERTY “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Benjamin Franklin - Nov 11, 1755 Founding Father

@byteboro How are we supposed to respect your chain if you don't respect your body?

@byteboro JAM REBELLION 🪵🫪

@byteboro STILL SCAM

@byteboro Scanning messages before encryption isn't a balance between security and privacy — it's the end of encryption by definition. You can't have private communication that's monitored. The two are mutually exclusive.

@byteboro ngmi if they scan everything before encryption seriously

@byteboro Fuck you dev !

@byteboro but this is will be worried ZERO INFLOW 🤣

@byteboro scam

@byteboro scanning before encryption is just surveillance with extra steps. if the device reads your messages before they're encrypted, the encryption is theater.

@byteboro We need more burning mechanics.

@byteboro

@byteboro Mark my words 📈

@byteboro mass enslavement more like it

@byteboro they’re scanning our devices now? step closer to digital authoritarianism

on-device scanning before encryption fundamentally breaks the promise of private communication. zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving tech show that security and privacy don't have to be a tradeoff. the question isn't how much privacy to sacrifice, but how to build systems that protect both.

@byteboro C for Context; historically, it's security that drives this type of regulation. Accepting limited privacy will be the new norm in digital life.

@byteboro Differences in regulatory frameworks are fragmenting Polkadot.

@byteboro okay this caught my attention
