Poland will “never agree” to any EU legislation that would require instant messaging services such as Messenger, WhatsApp or Signal to monitor users for evidence of child abuse, the country’s digital affairs minister said.

Photo: Envato/Kira_Yan, PAP/Radek Pietruszka Poland will “never agree” to any EU legislation that would require instant messaging services such as Messenger, WhatsApp or Signal to monitor users for evidence of child abuse, the country’s digital affairs minister said.

Politics Under a revised version of the EU Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) regulation – approved for further work by an EU Council working group last week – instant messaging providers could voluntarily agree to scan users’ communications for child sexual abuse content.

This marks a watering down of an initial proposal – first presented in 2022 – which would have made message scanning mandatory for all platforms, including those offering end-to-end encryption designed to prevent unauthorized access to private communications.

The legislation has raised concerns over potential violations of privacy rights and has been repeatedly revised, so far failing to secure majority support among EU member states.

Commenting on the revised proposal, Poland’s Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, told state news agency PAP on Monday that his country would “never agree to any mandatory scanning", citing concerns over the privacy of communications.

“We are treating the search for a compromise on child protection as a priority and with great consideration,” he said.

“We want legislation that enables us to effectively combat paedophilia while at the same time ensuring the security of all citizens,” he added.

Gawkowski said the latest proposal – put forward by Denmark, which took over the rotating EU Council presidency from Poland in July – aligns with the approach Warsaw advocated during its own presidency of the Council in the first half of 2025.

He also said his team will “monitor the issue” as talks progress, adding that the Polish government’s position would depend on the final draft regulation.

Arctic leaders have warned that the threat of hybrid warfare including the sabotage of undersea internet cables by Russia and others is moving from the Baltic Sea to the far north.

Denmark and Greenland plan to build a new data cable between them, and the remote Faroe Islands are in talks to have the line routed through their archipelago to bolster their resilience against potential attacks, according to the prime minister of the islands.

“When you are an island in the middle of the north Atlantic, you are vulnerable,” Aksel Johannesen said. ‘‘We have two telecommunications cables today, and if both are attacked at the same time we do not have any connection with the world.”

...

ASeveral cables have been damaged in the Arctic or nearby but no perpetrator has been identified. The cable connecting the Shetland, Orkney and Faroe Islands with Scotland has been damaged three times recently, once in 2022 and twice in 2025, affecting internet availability on the Scottish islands.

A data cable to the Norwegian Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard was damaged in January 2022. Public broadcaster NRK established that a Russian fishing boat crossed it more than 140 times beforehand, but prosecutors shelved the case.

Denmark said last month that it would spend $8.7bn on F-35 fighter jets and boosting Arctic security, including the new cable to Greenland. It added that it would discuss with the Faroe Islands the possibility of connecting the archipelago too.

Taiwan’s future should be decided by Taiwanese, German-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group chairman Till Steffen said yesterday, while giving former president Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) a tour of the German parliament building.

Tsai [Ing-wen, the former Taiwan President] arrived in Berlin ... and ... delivered a keynote speech at the Berlin Freedom Conference titled “Threats facing democracies: Taiwan’s experience defending freedom.”

Tsai ... attended a tea gathering at the Bundestag, joined by former friendship group chairman of 15 years Klaus-Peter Willsch, German defense affairs specialist Roderich Kiesewetter and Federal Ministry of Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth Parliamentary State Secretary Michael Brand.

...

“Similarly, Taiwan’s future should be decided by a parliament freely elected by the Taiwanese people. This is the democratic choice we support,” he added.

...

As long as democratic partners worldwide continue to support Taiwan, it would be able to go from “Taiwan can help” to “Taiwan is supporting,” Tsai said.

Prior to her visit, Tsai said that as a trustworthy member of the international community, Taiwan would continue to stand with Europe and other like-minded countries to demonstrate its commitment to freedom and democracy.
