The Phoenix 11, whose child sexual abuse was recorded & distributed, have been fighting for legislation to protect children & survivors for 5 years.

We're still waiting for tech to be held accountable.

Voluntary measures to tackle online child sexual abuse is not working - regulation is needed. Important part in new @EU_Commission legislation proposal. @LindaWIjkstrom @ECPATSverige

[Thomas Andersson @Thomas_AndX]

Frivilliga åtgärder från plattformar för att stoppa sexuell exploatering av barn fungerar inte - reglering är nödvändig. @LindaWIjkstrom @ECPATSverige Nytt förslag på lagstiftning från @EU_Commission debatteras #EUvsChildSexualAbuse

Child Sexual Abuse is a real and growing danger: not only is the number of reports growing, but these reports today concern younger children.

I am proud to propose this @EU_Commission Regulation today
for #EUvsChildSexualAbuse

[Protect Children @CdnChildProtect]

When it comes to tech removing abusive content of children from their platforms, a voluntary approach is not working.

Policies must be enforced, and companies held accountable in order to protect children.

[Thomas Andersson @Thomas_AndX]

@MCSeto Absolutely agree, really like how some segments were fine, complete short stories in themselves, making a much bigger story together.

[Howard Taylor @EndViolenceLead]

29M reports of #CSAM were made in 2021, a 35% increase on 2020.

But in the #EU reporting was down 47%, because tech companies stopped scanning for CSAM due to the e-Privacy Directive.

Every missed piece of #CSAM is a missed opportunity to identify, rescue & support a child.

[Lianna McDonald @LiannaMcDonald]

EU Commissioner @YlvaJohansson on her meetings in Silicon Valley:
"After discussions here, I am more convinced than ever that EU legislation is urgently needed to detect and report CSA online and remove CSAM. Detection can literally save a child’s life."

Our international ally @ECPATSverige on being a part of #ProjectArachnid:

[Signy Arnason @SignyArnason]

Since we launched it 5 years ago, #ProtjectArachnid has prompted the removal of 6 MILLION images/videos of child sexual abuse.

Our new mini film shows the lifelong impacts too many survivors have endured. We created Arachnid to break this cycle of abuse: https://t.co/WIqLQCrjk4
