This is incredibly dangerous. It lays the path for centralized, device-level client side scanning.

From detecting 'scams' it's a short step to "detecting patterns commonly associated w/ seeking reproductive care" or "commonly associated w/ providing LGBTQ resources" or "commonly associated with tech worker whistleblowing."

The brass neck of Jeremy Hunt claiming Tories have lifted people out of poverty is breathtaking
This month UN said UK is ‘in violation of international law’ over poverty levels & Joseph Rowntree Foundation, say in 2022 3.8 million people experienced destitution #AutumnStatement
