Joint call to extend the temporary ePrivacy derogation

WeProtect Global Alliance – Media

Together with over 50 other organisations, we are calling for an extension of the temporary EU ePrivacy derogation to keep protecting children online.

The absence of a temporary framework would create a legal gap and would risk the ability to continue carrying out selected detection, reporting and removal work against child sexual abuse online.

However, we believe that this extension should only be a temporary solution, while workining to get a long-term framework to protect children from child sexual exploitation and abuse online.
