3 h. ago Against ‘chat control’: we can’t eliminate child abuse by eliminating privacy

Banning online anonymity tools like Tor won’t stop crime. It will only drive people underground and normalize government control over the internetLike the “war on drugs” or the “war on terror”, a “war on child abuse” has too often been used to justify authoritarian overreach. Governments across the world are expanding surveillance, weakening encryption, and curtailing freedoms under the guise of staunching the proliferation of sexual images and videos of children – but these measures don’t actually solve the problem.In Europe, the latest proposal for a “chat control” regulation put forward by the Danish presidency would require every internet-connected device to include government spyware, as easy to activate as Alexa or Siri.

The state has consistently ranked last in the nation for child wellbeing, as determined by factors including household income, educational outcomes, and child mortality.

In September, governor Michelle Lujan Grisham – who made affordable childcare a centerpiece of her 2018 campaign – announced that New Mexico will offer free universal childcare. No other state in the US currently provides this essential service.Katrina vanden Heuvel is editor and publisher of the Nation, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a contributor to the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times Con...
