There's several problems but the biggest problem IMO is these bastards won't accept a fucking no. We voted no. Get over it. Right? But they won't. I agree that any private or public company can make their terms clear and anyone who willingly participates can do so β no problem there.
What is problematic is a super-national corporation overruling national constitutions under guise of protecting the children even when that same corporation has received a NO vote. And not just once. They just keep pushing this shit. I bet anyone who turned from no to yes is in the fucking Epstein files or some shit like that. What else could corrupt a person to such an extreme degree? These people also tried making exceptions for themselves, and I'm not even shitting you. They'll be scanning everyone but themselves. Funny how it's all rich and famous people who do nasty shit to children but they get a pass on the scanning. Lol. Fuck that, man. GG WP to anyone European.

I have no doubt that they won't be scanned π
And that, following my belief that a private company can do what they want given it is on the T&Cs. I completely agree the Eureich (the MPs) will somehow make themselves exempt from it coercively, unless the T&Cs end up saying "government excluded" - no problems with that.
That being said. Just don't use this stuff. These services are UTTER trash. Alternatives exist and people REALLY must put their money or time where their words are.
I personally think this will go beyond online services. It'll likely extend to "oh if you want to sell a phone in the EU then it must have backdoor client side scanning". "oh of you want to be a telecommunications company providing services in EU they you must enforce call recording and SMS scanning". "Oh btw if you want to sell cars in EU then spread those buyers' assholes wide because you know well be stuffing a camera in that as well".
Yes. Fuck the platforms/services. Least concern. I have no doubt they'll be milking this law until we're all thanking Ursula for letting us, the feeble minded plebs, lick her goddess-boots.
Yes, if it leads into coercive regulations (as that is what that would be).
Then yeah, screw it, and I can see how they would push for that with the exact same:
"It's for the kids" / "It's to stop anti-semitism" / "arab terrorism"
Ursula really is a peace of work.
She reminds me of an "old guard" Afrikaaner, who worked in the state, who would have loved to rattle the peasants a little bit more. I say this based on her "oudoos" (old "doofus" generous translation)) haircut.
Granny vibes. And hey grannies are cool, but not evil grannies or control freak grannies.
