Hard disagree on the conclusion. I agree that the commission and the council have made very unfair moves and it's justified to call them out for it. But we have also seen that the parliament (except for the EPP) was for the most part eager to listen to what people had to say about chat control.

> I'll be voting anti-EU in future I think.

You shouldn't go that far. Simply don't vote for the EPP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_People%27s_Party_Grou...) in your country. They are the driving force behind this. Other parties have mostly voted against this (depending on the country)

> The APIs have been there for ages

True. But my impression is that the whole TPM ecosystem is poorly documented. Maybe I just don't know where to look. But to me TPMs are still mostly a black boxes that prevent me from installing Linux unless I disable secure boot.

To benefit the most from security, you need to understand what the security mechanisms can and cannot do. And I feel that there is no good explanation out there to get starting with playing around with TPMs. If you already work at a big tech company, then you can probably find a mentor who might even have contributed to the TPM standards. But if you don't, then it seems to be really hard to properly learn how TPMs can be used.

> Could you elaborate on why this is so evil?

I think you have a fair use-case when you think about corporate machines, that are not personal devices. However, the more this type of remote attestation is used, the more likely it is that politicians will also require it on private machines, because "we have the technology". And then you won't be able to run any software that you want, because it could potentially be used for serious crimes like pirating music.

Bonferonni correction is relevant when you calculate multiple p-values. Most statistical tests are used with a p-value threshold of 5% to reject the null-hypothesis. But because you are repeatedly testing, the probability for false positives increases and that is why you need to decrease the threshold and make it harder, to obtain a p-value below that threshold to declare a significant result.

You typically use the Bonferroni correction when making general statements about a statistical relationship. You wouldn't use it for checking if a particular image shows illegal content. If you kept testing with your image classifier, your significance threshold would need to be continuously lowered and you would asymptotically reach zero.

You are correct in that both option 1 and 2 are possible. For end-to-end encrypted messages only option 2 is possible. The content will be scanned directly on your own device and the data will be sent to the authorities without your knowledge, if the software detects something suspicious. This is called client-side-scanning.

For example:

(cons some-value my-list)

If my-list is nil, then the above expression will result in a list containing only the element some-value. Otherwise it will be a list starting with some-value followed by any other values that have been previously in my-list.

> I recall hand-wringing on the difference between popups and modals in our webdev shop.

I hate modals even more than pop-ups. There are valid reasons to use either, but in most cases they are a form of abuse.

Thank you for the expanded explanation. But it doesn't really explain how we should help and what you hope to achieve with our help. A bit more targeted information would be appreciated. You seem to be doing important work, but it's difficult to understand what you want from us.
