Se l’IA ha qualche “dubbio” che si tratti di pedopornografia, la tua foto, posizione, numero di telefono e altri dettagli vengono segnalati a Europol e a una forza di polizia locale: <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/chatcontrol-in-brief-it/">https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/chatcontrol-in-brief-it/</a> 2025-08-18T06:16:06Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqsrpk0f08gquae9nea8wp7vz5lkal34fc6e2p68rlx7tsumhn5ugzyq6s0akr97xhu0kmu4ts45e5pfy6sc7eka06m5mz94hkh3fh9g40xqhguf5 En resumen: bajo el liderazgo de Dinamarca, muchos países de la Unión Europea quieren obligar a las compañías de mensajería como WhatsApp o Signal a inspeccionar todas nuestras fotos y enlaces con ayuda de inteligencia artificial (IA). Si la IA tiene la mínima duda de que pueda tratarse de material relacionado con abuso infantil, se enviarán a Europol y a la policía local tu foto, la ubicación, tu número de teléfono y otros datos personales. <a href="https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/chatcontrol-in-brief-es/">https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/chatcontrol-in-brief-es/</a> 2025-08-17T16:40:23Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9ncrw4a2dse4fxcjpc0vxmlpe2p8l7hkrefnxvjam25dntmttkfszyq6s0akr97xhu0kmu4ts45e5pfy6sc7eka06m5mz94hkh3fh9g40x09e4f3 In the context of the Chatcontrol attempt to get Americans to scan our photos with AI so we can be reported to Europol, the EU has even bigger plans in this direction.

Microsoft France here claims they&#39;ve never seen a CLOUD ACT request for French government data. Perhaps true. However, under the FISA section 702 &amp; EO 12333, Microsoft is still mandated to deliver such data to the NSA, and Europeans will never learn of that request.
