Back to the start

Thank you. Good evening everybody. And it is a bit weird - today is my birthday. This is the strangest birthday present I've ever had. It would be rude of me to reject a birthday present. [inaudible] My proposal is about fighting child sexual abuse. At a scale and severity of a crime to demand that we act. Videos and pictures are shared online also with abuse of very young children and babies. And also with severe violence. One of the first things I did as a commissioner 3 years ago was launching a strategy against this terrible crime. Focussing on prevention, on victim support and of course on police cooperation. My proposal now on the table fights the online aspect of this crime. This is important not at least in the Netherlands where 40% of child sexual abuse material in the world is hosted.🗨 Prevention is at the heart of my proposal, but prevention alone will never be enough unfortunately.🗨 In a recent case the dutch police arrested a man. He has been raping his baby daughter. The police could stop these rapes, rescue this little girl and two other children, because the man got detected their views in facebook messenger. Prevention did not stop these rapes.🗨 A baby cannot say no or call a hotline. My proposal does not introduce detection in online messages. Companies have been detecting child sexual abuse for more than 10 years in online messaging.🗨 Last year they sent 1.5 million reports and reviews from the european union alone. Containing more than 5 million videos and photos of sexual violence against children. [inaudible] One million of these reports, the majority, came from online messages, e-mail and chat. Every single one could contain the vital clue. The often only clue that could lead to an investigation that rescues the child. Next year, this detection for child sexual abuse in online messages will be forbidden. Totally in the EU. Unless there is a specific law that allows it. My proposal restricts detection compared to [Ursula von der Leyen?]. But my proposal makes sure that it is not totally stopped. Allowing detection of the views to continue. Only when absolutely necessary. With new safeguards that are regulating big tech companies right now. Who, the big companies today detect, when they like, what they like and how they like (more or less). My proposal will limit the detection in time, in place and by law. The only offer for risk assessment. Only if there is a significant risk of child sexual abuse. Only of the prevention on mitigative measures that failed or was not enough. Only of through court decisions. Only with approved technology. Only based on verified indicators of child sexual abuse. Only then they will be allowed to do the detection. None of these safeguards exist today. That means we will have new safeguards compared with the current situation with my proposal. But there is one big difference. Today it is voluntary for the companies to detect. In my proposal this process will also be obligatory. When companies are allowed to detect, they also must detect. And if [???] it only detects the views. It is like a police dog at the airport. Sniffing for drugs offer high risk price. Officers open only suspicious packages when the dog barks. And like police dogs, artifical intelligence must always be subject to human oversight. And the new EU center I am proposing will be a stake for and filter reports. That no false positives reach the police. And I will not excempt encrypted services if there is a significant risk of child sexual abuse. Today, detection for malware is allowed and possible and carried out in encrypted environments. This is happening today. And I think that we must protect our children as least as much as we protect our devices from malware. I know you all feel very strongly about this. You also asked me to withdraw my proposal. I will not do that. Because if I should, then from next year, all detection in messages that has been happening for 10 years will be forbidden in the EU. Forbbiden in the Netherlands. Detection will stop. Rapes will continue undetected. And that little baby I told you about: Her father would probably still be raping her. And what about the crimes will say about the victims? That the victims, of that baby [???] Amsterdam, who confessed to abusing and raping 90 babies and small children. Eight years later, videos are still out there online. The worst moment of the child's life shared perpertual. Drama upon drama. The european union is a global leader in protecting online privacy. I am proud of that. We should all be proud of that. I also want us to become a global leader in protecting children. For one of the worst crimes that we can ever imagine. I'm proud of our new standards of privacy protection. But we must also protect the privacy of the victims. Thank you for listening.
