Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

The amended proposal for the introduction of the controversial chat check does not receive support from the Netherlands. The Danish compromise brings mandatory detection back into the proposal and the Netherlands cannot support that, writes the outgoing Minister of Justice and Security.

The Netherlands does not support the current proposal for the European introduction of chat control, because it would essentially make back doors in secure communication legally mandatory. On July 1, an adjustment was made to that EU proposal, with Denmark taking office as President of the Council of the European Union. That compromise brings mandatory detection of child abuse material (CSAM) back into the proposal.

The main difference with the Polish Presidency's proposal earlier this year is that mandatory detection under certain conditions has been reinstated in the proposal," reports outgoing Minister of Justice and Security, Foort van Oosten. He writes this in a letter to the House of Representatives about the current state of affairs regarding the EU regulation that aims to prevent and combat child sexual abuse online.

The outgoing minister thus provides an update in the run-up to the committee debate that serves to prepare for the meeting of the European Council for Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) on 13 and 14 October. Chat control is available on the second day of the meeting on the agenda. . The Dutch parliament already spoke out almost a year ago against chatcontrol, after the Dutch cabinet has previously abstained from voting on a Hungarian compromise for the controversial proposal.

The EU proposal currently has insufficient support among Member States. . Germany has spoken out against chat control, but wants to reach a compromise in order to arrive at European legislation. The current compromise proposal under the Danish Presidency brings back mandatory detection under certain conditions in the form of so-called detection orders. The Netherlands cannot agree to this, according to outgoing Minister Van Oosten.

The outcome of the vote on chat control on October 14 is still uncertain. "There is currently no clarity about the position of other Member States and their possible consequences for the blocking minority," writes the Dutch minister. "It is clear that the field of forces is still fragmented: a number of Member States have spoken positively about the Danish proposal, a number of Member States โ€“, including the Netherlands โ€“, have indicated that they cannot support the proposal and a number of Member States are still maintaining a study reservation."
