Europe revives law allowing big tech to scan for CSAM

The European Parliament approved Chat Control 2.0, legislation that authorizes major technology companies including Google, Meta, and Microsoft to scan user messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The law enables automated detection systems to identify and report such content to authorities.

Why it matters: Organizations providing messaging and communication services across the EU must prepare technical scanning capabilities and compliance processes to meet the new legal mandate for CSAM detection.
