>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.<a href="#fourty">🗨</a>
|
|
Prevention is at the heart of my proposal, but prevention alone will never be enough unfortunately.<a href="#fourty">🗨</a>
|
|
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 href="#baby_prevention">🗨</a>
|
|
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.<a href="#not_introducing">🗨</a>
|
|
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.

|
|
With all due respect, we shall discuss the arguments put forth.
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="fourty">40% of child abuse material is hosted in the Netherlands</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A possible source for this claim might be
|
|
<a href="https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/news/increased-amount-child-sexual-abuse-material-detected-europe-2020-04-28_en">
|
|
this EU news article
|
|
</a> which in turn refers to the
|
|
<a href="https://www.iwf.org.uk/about-us/who-we-are/annual-report-2020/">
|
|
Internet Watch Foundation report from 2020</a>.
|
|
If we assume that these number are realistic:
|
|
What is the reason why the Netherlands are such a popular target for this illegal material?
|
|
And in which way would chatcontrol even help with this?
|
|
If the source of illegal content is known it is easy to take it down,
|
|
especially in a modern country like the Netherlands.
|
|
There is no clear justification for the need of chatcontrol based on this.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="prevention">Prevention alone will never be enough to prevent all cases</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Yes. But that still does not justify spying on pretty much any online conversation and
|
|
treating all people who fulfill their human need for personal communication as potential offenders.
|
|
The intention is good, but the means are completely overblown.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="baby_prevention">We need chat and social media surveillance to rescue babies</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
By that same logic we could also argue for cameras in every room in every home,
|
|
because sexual abuse of babies happens in the offline world and only in some cases is posted online.
|
|
Only then we would achieve perfect prevention.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="not_introducing">Chatcontrol does not introduce (new) online surveillance</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is true that platform providers have been scanning for illegal content before the chatcontrol proposal was drafted.
|
|
It is also understandable that platform providers do not wish to have this abhorrent type of data on their platforms.
|
|
And it is reasonable that platform providers detect and delete this data.
|
|
However, not all data is shared equally. Data can be shared broadly and in a non-personal manner.
|
|
And if a platform provider learns that a certain URL points to illegal content, they can act on it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Chatcontrol however, is a new type of surveillance, that is highly pervasive and that invades personal online spaces in a way that has not been seen to this extend before. The fact that facebook is scanning personal messages does not really say anything, because facebook has always been a terrible company when it comes to privacy.
