Dutch child protection charities back chat control scanning plans
Original: Free a Girl, Defence for Children Nederland, Terre des Hommes en International Justice Mission willen al uw internetverk
Four organisations active against child exploitation — Free a Girl, Defence for Children Nederland, Terre des Hommes and International Justice Mission — have launched a campaign calling for the introduction of chat control in the Netherlands. According to security news site Security.nl, the proposal would mean scanning all internet traffic and breaking encryption. The move is drawing sharp criticism from privacy and digital rights advocates, who argue that weakening encryption endangers everyone's online security while the charities say it is needed to fight child abuse.
Why now: The campaign reignites the heated European debate over chat control and the future of end-to-end encryption.
