maybe I've just been fighting in the crypto-wars for too long, but it seems somewhat convenient that there's a paper about CSAM on the fediverse already getting significant press coverage just as a number of mass surveillance bills thinly veiled as protecting children are being drafted.
Especially since
1. the Stanford uni report doesn't disclose where their funding comes from
2. all the available options for detecting CSAM seem to be US corporations, most of which are known to be extremely friendly with the CIA and NSA
3. it's really hard to deploy technologies like this in a privacy-preserving way
