Chat Control: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:14, 17 January 2026

The Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse (Child Sexual Abuse Regulation, or CSAR), or most commonly known as Chat Control, is a proposed European Union regulation that aims to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through mass surveillance by digital platforms.

By virtue of the legistation, all platforms would legally be required to surveille all private digital communications, thus nullifying the efficacy of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and violating fundamental rights to privacy.

Background

The legislation was proposed by the European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson on 11 May 2022.
