Scanning phones to detect child abuse evidence is harmful, 'magical' thinking
With 5 percent false positives, Anderson suggests each of Europe's 1.6 million police officers would have 625 alarms about potential harms to deal with daily – not exactly a practical scenario.

"The chat service operators would hate that, which may be a reason why Apple produced its own client-side scanning software that caused a storm last year before part of it was withdrawn. There are also some UK startups that GCHQ and the Home Office funded to produce prototypes. Perhaps this would just be used as a means of bullying Big Tech into doing the job themselves.
"At present, tech firms pay attention to takedown requests from the police and from copyright lawyers, as ignoring them can be expensive – but ignore ordinary users including women and children," he says."That needs to be fixed, whether by criminal sanctions or by significant financial penalties."
