Spurious PR for Digital ID...not just a hammer to crack a grain of sand

" 0.00007 percent!
That’s how many of the 11.7 billion messages scanned in Europe in 2023 led to a concrete suspicion.

0.00007 percent.

And for that, someone’s reading along. With every message. With every photo. With every voice memo to your mom.

System error rate: up to 20 percent.
Most hits are false positives.
This isn’t law enforcement.
This is mass surveillance with a better PR department.
The confidentiality of correspondence applies offline and must also apply online.
Child protection yes, but mass surveillance never. "
