The undersigned industry associations representing technology companies remain deeply committed to making the digital space safer for everyone and in particular to protecting children online. We firmly stand behind the European Commission’s overarching objective to prevent and combat child sexual abuse.
As such, we believe certain improvements need to be introduced in the proposal for an EU Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse (CSA Regulation) in order to achieve a legislative framework that recognises our industry’s efforts to safeguard children and one that better ensures the prosecution of perpetrators.
To this end, we call on EU policymakers to:
1) defend the rights to privacy and confidentiality of communications through the specific protection of encryption;
2) make sure that detectionorders are a last resort measure; and
3) limit detection orders to those with the ability to act.
