On 11 May, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a ‘Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse’ to replace the interim legislation that EDRi fought against last year. In our immediate reaction, EDRi warned that the new proposal creates major risks for the privacy, security and integrity of private communications, not just in the EU, but globally. Here, we unpack a bit more about the legislative proposal, and why we are so concerned.
This document pool contains analyses, updates and resources relating to EU rules on scanning private online communications, in particular the long-term ePrivacy derogation: the 'Legislation to effectively tackle child sexual abuse' (expected May 2022)
