European Commission Demands Urgent Resolution on Online Child Abuse Detection Rules (eco.sapo.pt)

• Interim detection rules expired on April 3.
• Commission demands legislative acceleration.
• Push for long-term harmonized legal framework.

"Following the expiration of previous interim rules on Friday, the European Commission has urged the European Parliament and member states to finalize a long-term legal framework for detecting online child sexual abuse. The lapse in regulation creates a gap in the ability to police illegal content effectively. Brussels insists that co-legislators must accelerate negotiations to restore necessary detection capabilities and ensure consistent enforcement across the digital single market."
