1/6📍 #ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial #CSARegulation, aka Chat Control.

📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

Ahead of today's first #CSARegulation trilogue, @ClaudiaCanelles stresses: "EU Member States have made it very clear: the #CSAM Regulation can only move forward if it protects #minors while maintaining #privacy and #encryption." ⚖️

1/5📍 #ChatControl: Today, following a lot of public pressure, representatives of the EU member states have finally agreed on their position to remove arguably the most controversial part of the #CSARegulation: the requirement for message and email services to scan users' private communications.

🔑 This is a key development. We, along with hundreds of experts, have criticised this part of the law for undermining the presumption of innocence and posing an existential threat to #encryption.

Dänemark stoppt überraschend seine Pläne für die verpflichtende #Chatkontrolle. Die Regierung zieht damit einen der umstrittensten EU-Vorschläge im Bereich „Sicherheitspolitik“ zurück. Die „gesichtwahrende Ausstiegsoption“: Statt Zwangsscans von Chats soll nun auf Freiwilligkeit gesetzt werden. Wir deuten das als wichtigen Erfolg für Grundrechte und digitale Privatsphäre in Europa.

3/3 🚸 One thing is clear - if EU countries really care about protecting children online, the #CSARegulation as it stands today is NOT the way forward.

A different solution is needed – one that is lawful, technically feasible and developed together with all relevant experts and affected communities 🙌🏽

2/3 🇩🇰 Now, Denmark seems to be having a go at breaking the Council deadlock, making the #CSARegulation a top priotity for their presidency.

In reality, the Danish proposal makes no actual efforts to tackle concerns about #surveillance and the #encryption-breaking measures.

Is Denmark's attempt just a PR exercise or do they actually think recycling previously rejected proposals will somehow work this time? 🤔

1/3 🕵🏽 Looking for updates on the highly criticised and controversial #CSARegulation #ChatControl

Three years on, the law is still at an impasse in the Council of EU member states 🚫

🇵🇱 Poland tried a new approach to build a bridge between the two camps – but ultimately failed because the countries supporting #MassSurveillance and breaking #encryption refused to meaningfully engage 🙅🏽‍♀️
