Article summary

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs has endorsed a draft Parliament position to extend the EU e-Privacy rules until 3 May 2025, to allow for the detection of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) online. The extension will prevent a legal vacuum when the derogation expires in August 2024. This draft position will be announced at a plenary session of the Parliament in February 2024. Negotiations with the Council of the EU can begin once the position has been endorsed by the full house.
