Briefing note on the CSAM proposal: “The Point of No Return”

The Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) proposal aims to prevent and combat child sexual abuse online and offline by detecting the dissemination of child sexual abuse material and grooming. Whilst there is a consensus about the paramount importance of this task, many stakeholders question the effectiveness, necessity and proportionality of the proposed measures.

In this briefing note we explain why the EDPS believes that in its current form, the CSAM proposal would fundamentally change the internet and digital communication as we know it, and that will be a point of no return.

How the EDPS conducts investigations

The EDPS may decide to start an investigation when we have a strong suspicion of an infringement of data protection rules by an EUI.

The aim of the investigation is to check whether an infringement of the applicable data protection rules, in particular the EUDPR, has occurred and to establish its circumstances.

To find out more about the process of EDPS investigations, consult our Investigation Policy and Investigation Factsheet below.
