Summary
Key Points: 
  • This legislation will apply for a maximum of three years, or fewer if new permanent rules on tackling child sexual abuse online are agreed in the meantime.
  • Child sexual abuse material

    Online material linked to child sexual abuse is detected using specific technologies that scan content, such as images and text, or traffic data.

  • The Rapporteur Birgit SIPPEL (S&D, DE) said after the vote:

    Child sexual abuse is a horrible crime that violates human rights.

  • The agreement is a compromise between detecting child sexual abuse online and protecting users privacy.
