# Use of technologies by number-independent interpersonal communications service providers for the processing of personal and other data for the purpose of combatting child sexual abuse online (temporary derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2002/58/EC)

European Parliament procedure 2020/0259(COD) (COD - Ordinary legislative procedure (ex-codecision procedure), 9th term, committee FEMM / LIBE). Stage: Procedure completed. 190 committee amendments tabled by 11 Members between 2020-11-13 and 2020-11-26.

## What the amendments focus on

This dossier provides a temporary derogation from certain provisions of Directive 2002/58/EC so number-independent interpersonal communications service providers can process data to combat child sexual abuse online. The amendments define child sexual abuse material, solicitation, sex extortion and 'child', limit processing to well-established technologies strictly necessary for detection, reporting and removal, require annual transparency reports with gender-disaggregated data, and address account blocking and hashing; some reject the Commission proposal.
