- The expiry of the ePrivacy derogation on April 3 has reduced legal certainty for using technology to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in Europe.
- Almost 250 child rights organizations and tech companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snap express concern about decreased child protection globally.
- Technology companies have voluntarily used hash-matching tools to detect, remove, and report CSAM, protecting victims and maintaining service integrity.
- There is disappointment over the failure to reach an agreement to sustain online child protection efforts, calling for urgent EU regulatory action.
- An upcoming webinar on April 10th will explain hash-matching and CSAM detection tools, as companies reaffirm their commitment to child safety and privacy.
