Nono, it will always only be used to catch criminals, that won't change...it's what makes someone a criminal that changes.

Literally the article linked in the OP...
Article 10a, which contains the upload moderation plan, states that these technologies would be expected “to detect, prior to transmission, the dissemination of known child sexual abuse material or of new child sexual abuse material.”
It will detect known images and potential new images...how do you think it will the potential new and unknown images?
So you're saying there is a chance...
The images that are flagged by such scanning, local or server side, will have to be manually verified to avoid false persecution. Someone will have to look at the private images you've sent that might get flagged.
These systems have huge margins of error and are incredibly inaccurate, so there will be a significant task in manually verifying everything. And do you trust some government random employee (or just the departments general IT practices or ability to not be hacked) with not leaking your nudes or personal images? I sure as hell don't.
And even if this is handled perfectly and all government employees are super super honorable standup citizens that never do anything slightly wrong ever...There are still malicious governments that persecute minorities, I doubt they will handle these backdoors in digital privacy very well.
Only under the assumption that 2>=M>1
Even parties to the left are pro this surveillance bullshit.
But then again, we also have pretty much every EU group pushing for super invasive chat control. It's ridiculous how schizophrenic they are on the subject of digital privacy.
I am confused then what is Congress' problem here?
The data is also available to DJI, and through them the CCP.
Just hope you're never involved in an accident, Dacias (both EV and ICE) have abysmal safety ratings.
