alt Hacker NewsI dunno, man. If tech companies responded to a failure to extend interim guidance by terminating their CSAM detection programs, and claimed when challenged that the EU made them do it, I'm pretty confident there would be much more outrage about "malicious compliance". If the EU wants companies to stop detecting CSAM until the final guidance arrives, they should say so directly.

As there should be.
The big tech companies have done that every time the EU passes some consumer protections, and have been spanked in court several times for the disingenuousness.

They did.
EU Commission reported that the false positive rate was 13-20%.
German police reported that 50% of all reports were wrong.
The system is rubbish and the EU MEPs were quite open about wanting it to go away.
