The European Commission's proposal included a body it called the EU Centre to work with Europol.[1] The report template includes IP address, port number, postal code, GPS data, username, email address, phone number, mailing address, profile information, other email addresses, other phone numbers, billing information, last login date, and other user information. Why did you assume it would not? Reports would be forwarded to Europol and member state law enforcement authorities. > The latter will surely invite the inevitable increase in mandatory paperwork and bogus reports. After a few false positives, I bet if the police gets handed down reports and those reports are not about people already suspected from some other sources, they will be swept under the rug and allowed to rot by any police officer with a little bit of wrinkly brain. Was this meant to comfort anyone? > It’s as if they don’t already have enough paperwork to deal with and, you know, real actual crimes to solve. Child sexual abuse is a real crime. Some child pornography investigations have led to prosecutions for child sexual abuse. Many legislators, police, prosecutors, and members of the public believe even virtual child pornography is a slippery slope to real child sexual abuse and reject any evidence pointing the other way. They consider possession a real crime even if you do not. Law enforcement authorities supported this proposal. Most oppose surveillance rarely or never.
