I submitted this version instead of the original Financial Times articles that would have been paywalled for most.
I feel honestly bewildered by this stunning escalation, where by now proposals are being discussed to block cameras on devices from making explicit images on a device level. For me personally this has very negative implications for general liberty, which seems to be increasingly given up as a value. I find it frightening that it is more and more centrists, liberals up to progressives and leftists that buy into a moral panic.
It is also hard for me to explain where this comes from. Where as a society have we gone wrong that it is now seen as sensible to control what images a camera can make?
