The European Union is inching ever closer to adopting a new law proposal that could see every digital message sent on iPhone and beyond in the territory scanned in the name of detecting child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
As reported by The Verge on Thursday, “The European Union is getting closer to passing new rules that would mandate the bulk scanning of digital messages — including encrypted ones.”
A vote on the proposals, first unveiled in 2022, has been set for Thursday. As noted by privacy advocate Patrick Breyer, many EU countries are on the fence about the new proposals. Belgium looks set to back the laws, and only Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland are “relatively clear that they will not support the proposal.”
