Tech companies and platforms are calling on member states who continue in the EU Council to debate a new proposal aimed at combating online child sexual abuse to preserve the voluntary detection of illegal content.<\/p>\n<p>This would allow the continued use of technologies like CSAI Match and PhotoDNA, which automatically identify abusive images shared on online platforms. Currently, online companies are permitted to flag illegal images under a temporary exemption from the EU\u2019s e-privacy law. However, this exemption is set to expire in April 2026. The tech industry is urging member states to include the exemption\u2019s provisions in the final legislation and to extend it in the interim, as negotiations on the matter are expected to take longer to conclude.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;As the extension is only a temporary solution, we strongly support the introduction of a legal basis for voluntary detection as proposed by the Polish Presidency in its latest compromise proposal,&#8221; they wrote. Ella Jakubowska, Head of Policy at the digital rights NGO EDRi, believes the extension is inevitable. &#8221;With member states still gridlocked, EU lawmakers may have no choice but to extend the current derogation,&#8221; she told Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal has been under negotiation since 2022, with several rotating presidencies struggling to build consensus. After failed attempts by the Czech, Spanish, Belgian, and Hungarian presidencies, Poland has taken a new approach to secure a compromise.<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission&#8217;s original proposal included controversial &#8221;detection orders&#8221;, allowing authorities to demand access to private communications. However, Poland\u2019s latest proposal removes this provision, focusing on voluntary detection. Detection orders would only apply as a last resort to platforms deemed &#8221;high risk&#8221; that fail to act against online child abuse.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2025\/03\/13\/tech-companies-urge-eu-to-preserve-voluntary-detection-of-child-abuse-content-in-online-pl\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/next\/2025\/03\/13\/tech-companies-urge-eu-to-preserve-voluntary-detection-of-child-abuse-content-in-online-pl\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/tech-companies-urge-eu-to-preserve-voluntary-detection-of-child-abuse-content-in-online-platforms\/\">Tech companies urge EU to preserve voluntary detection of child abuse content in online platforms<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,18221,274],"class_list":["post-138242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-detection-of-child-abuse","tag-eu"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138242\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
