Child sexual abuse is a real and growing danger.
📈 More than 2 million children are being affected every year.

We are proposing new rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse online. ⬇️

#EUvsChildSexualAbuse

Tech companies have the skills and technology to detect abuse, and they should be responsible for reporting it.

Our new proposal sets obligations for companies to detect and report the abuse of children, with strong safeguards guaranteeing privacy of all.

Crimes don't occur "online", crimes are perpetrated by real offenders.

You can increase staffing and budget of specific police units and general prevention if you really think there's a problem, but policing by "AI" is a sure way to automatic false accusations, with fatal consequences you will be responsible for.

But I assume you've been told that a thousand times already, and have developed a thick skin instead of a conscience. Clowns

@Shamar

Great paper, I'm currently reading it!

It has even more far-reaching consequences than the inevitable accidental false positives that will *already* destroy the "AI detection" dreams 😃 It basically destroys the whole ML models as a service industry.

Or it would, if marketing didn't trump logic every single time ...
