Google backs EU plans to fight child sexual abuse
Google has said it backs the need for a derogation from the ePrivacy directive and supports the notion of creating a European centre that would cover law enforcement, prevention and victim support at the EU level.
However, the US tech giant does not want the centre to be tasked with reporting obligations for instances of child sexual abuse material found on the web.
In September 2020, the EU executive Commission suggested widening the directive’s field of application to allow tech companies to track child sexual abuse material online (CSAM) when the Electronic Communications Code entered into force as from December 2020 – while a broader reform on the ePrivacy text is stalling.
