14 September 2022 – EuroISPA publishes its Position Paper expressing concerns about the Proposal for a Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse. The document highlights risks of inoperability and technical unfeasibility, concerns around compatibility with the GDPR, DSA, ePrivacy Directive, NIS2, and the Open Internet Regulation, as well as emphasising worries about excessive administrative burdens on SMEs.

EuroISPA, a pan-European association which represents over 3,000 Internet Services Providers (ISPs), works to advocate for the needs both of the wider industry and of users. This position paper is one example of how the association’s members work together to draft recommendations for EU policy makers that can be implemented by the industry in order to tackle the issue at hand.  EuroISPA members are at the forefront of the efforts to protect children online and have a longstanding relationship with law enforcement authorities to assist them in the fight against child exploitation.
