This Wednesday, EU member states agreed on a common position regarding the controversial child sexual abuse (CSA) protection law – also known as the CSA Regulation – during the Council gathering Justice ministers from the 27 EU countries.
The goal is to ensure that social media platforms systematically remove child sexual abuse material from the internet. The proposed measures would create a new European body, the EU Centre on Child Sexual Abuse, and national authorities would have the power to oblige companies to remove or block access to content.
