EDPS sul CSAM - Sintesi

Estratto:

The speakers underlined that the detection orders should be targeted and limited only to
persons suspected of committing CSAM-related crimes. This would not be achieved through
broad definition of “reasonable grounds for suspicion”.

In conclusion, the participants stressed the need to preserve the integrity of Europe’s rights-based
system and called for due diligence and respect for the scientific consensus during the legislative
process.

Wojciech Wiewiórowski closed the event by concluding that the discussion had showed how
measures combatting child sexual abuse should in their design be complex, namely by addressing
the problem on multiple levels and at different stages. Scanning of messages is not only a threat
to the privacy, but also a means that produces extremely questionable results. In its current form,
the CSAM proposal would fundamentally change the internet and digital communication as we
know them.
