the internet will route around it

How will the internet route around client side scanning? Some here will not be affected but I suspect the masses would have a harder time assuming they are even aware that cell phones, Windows recall and Mac mediaanalysisd are performing scans. Most people do not install custom phone OS images.

They might start to do, if governments become so obnoxious with their surveillance, that it somehow makes life inconvenient for regular people. However, then governments will start to block the network access for "uncertified" devices and software, or even to restrict the access to general-purpose computers altogether. That's why it is better to defeat this politically, than to play eternal cat-mouse games.

		why it is better to defeat this politically, than to play eternal cat-mouse games. I agree but laws can take a long time to change so I prefer to do things in parallel but that's just me. I can be an ass at times.

		It doesn't make life inconvenient for most people though. Even in places like Russia and China most people aren't running custom phone OS images.

Would this work? https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/u17hsa/please_help_m...

  sudo killall -STOP mediaanalysisd mediaanalysisd-access

		If they start doing client side scanning under some law I assume they will put measures in place to fix anything the client does to break it so I think time will tell what will be effective.
