>Finally, the proposed Regulation contains safeguards to ensure that technologies used for the purposes of detection, reporting and removal of online child sexual abuse to comply with a detection order are the least privacy-intrusive and are in accordance with the state of the art in the industry; they perform any necessary review on an anonymous basis and only take steps to identify any user in case potential online child sexual abuse is detected. It guarantees the fundamental right to an effective remedy in all phases of the relevant activities, from detection to removal, and it limits the preservation of removed material and related data to what is strictly necessary for certain specified purposes. Thereby, the proposed Regulation limits the interference with the right to personal data protection of users and their right to confidentiality of communications, to what is strictly necessary for the purpose of ensuring the achievement of its objectives, that is, laying down harmonised rules for effectively preventing and combating online child sexual abuse in the internal market. (from the proposal) It doesn't seem to me the document goes very much into detail on the effects this will cause for privacy rights, both with its application and indirectly, and how it should be implemented, despite briefly bringing up encryption concerns from the opposition. I can't see this anonymized data collection work as claimed due to the sensitive nature of the subject at hand (private conversations), and I wonder about the enforcement rights it'd allow (imposition of "remedies", fines, periodic penalty payments, and "power to adopt interim measures to avoid the risk of serious harm") and the importance of rapid content deletion for small-to-medium online platforms and personal sites as it has been hinted in the past. I really do not trust companies to have a privacy minded approach nor I consider my government capable of doing so as it does not benefit it in practice. (the document does mention strong support from "law enforcement authorities")
