This is perhaps a naive question but I am increasingly worried by initiatives launched in the EU that see user privacy threatened by government actors. I am referring to initiatives such as the proposal for online services to actively filter out child sexual abuse material.
Of course this is a laudable goal but the proposed method, client side scanning, will require everything posted online to be screened for potential child sexual abuse material before it is posted. It effectively negates the goal of end to end encryption. There are still ways to do this while protecting user privacy (like offline comparison to hashes of known material) but it's unclear which method will eventually prevail. However once the potential is there, the implementation of client side scanning opens up a can of worms. The implications for privacy are clear but overreach, censorship, the danger of false positives and negatives and the legal and ethical ramifications are significant.
My question is: if and to what extent can GrapheneOS protects users against this kind of implementation?
