Key points
- Extends the period of application of Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 until 3 August 2027 instead of 3 April 2028.¶
- Limits the detection technology to known online child sexual abuse material, excluding solicitation of children from the scope.¶
- Requires that detection measures are not applied to communications with end-to-end encryption.
- Requires that detection be targeted, specified, and limited to individual users or groups with reasonable suspicion, identified by a competent judicial authority.¶
- Requires technologies to be least privacy-intrusive and, when scanning text, only detect patterns, not deduce content substance.¶
- Restricts detection of solicitation or previously unidentified abuse material to cases with a concrete report from a user, trusted flagger, or public interest organisation.
