The European Commission has been accused of undermining the fight against online child abuse by introducing new laws which will protect the privacy of paedophiles.
Charities say new EU regulations would stop tech firms searching out child abuse images on their platforms and reporting them to police because it would be a potential breach of paedophiles' privacy.
Unlike the new laws on data, there are no exemptions in the proposed EU regulations (European Privacy Regulations (EPR)) that would allow investigators to override the rights of paedophiles to privacy to protect children from abuse.
The British government is understood to have raised its concerns with the EC that “personal rights should not obstruct companies from protecting children who use social media platforms.”
A source said Sajid Javid, the home secretary, fully supported companies having the power to detect and act upon “abhorrent” images and grooming for child sexual abuse.
“We have taken note of the EU’s proposal for the introduction of European Privacy Regulation (EPR) and are discussing it with EU member states,” said a government spokesperson.
John Carr, secretary of the Children’s Charities' Coalition on Internet Safety, which represents 11 of the biggest charities including Barnardo's and the NSPCC, wrote last week to the EC, demanding they amend the regulations so investigators can continue to report and remove indecent images.
Mr Carr said: "There ought to be no room for doubt or ambiguity on a matter of such fundamental importance to the protection of children. And yet there is."
Javed Khan, chief executive of Barnardo’s, Britain’s biggest charity, said: “Online child abuse is appalling. Any regulation change should not restrict the ability of tech companies and law enforcement to work together to stop child abuse online.
“We would urge the EC to make a simple change to the new e-privacy regulation so that all EU countries can continue to fight this horrific crime effectively.”
Microsoft technology known as PhotoDNA has enabled tech giants like Facebook, Twitter and Google to track down millions of illegal child abuse images on their platforms.
It is estimated more than 20m such images will have been located by US watchdogs and the Internet Watch Foundation in the UK by the end of this year and removed through the use of PhotoDNA, which "fingerprints" any illegal image so copies of it can be traced across the internet.
Under new data laws - the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - there are three exemptions to a users' right to privacy which allow tech firms to seize and report indecent images.
These are where it is of vital importance to protect the interests of an individual, to comply with a legal obligation or to perform a task that is carried out in the public interest.
The European Privacy Regulations (EPR), however, have no such exemptions. "Article 5 of the EPR prohibits the processing of data unless consent is given by the end user [ie the paedophile]," said a charity legal expert. "The worry is that if consent is the only exemption to the prohibition on processing data, then child sexual abuse offenders are unlikely to give their consent.
"The purpose of the regulations are to stop the abuse and misuse of people's data and privacy but the consequence is it potentially undermines what is being done to tackle child sexual abuse online.”
It is understood a number of other European countries have raised concerns in an attempt to force through an alternative option aligning the privacy laws with the GDPR exemptions.

Would be interesting to find out who in the European Commission has been responsible for this draft.

The European Commission is full of "shell causes" cloaked in the normal globalist tactic of do gooder works.
It would be very interesting to see who is responsible for the draft.
Had done some work on this recently and put out a couple of reports.
For context,
Building of the European Parliament in Brussels
The European Parliament is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union. Together with the Council of the European Union (the Council) and the European Commission, it exercises the legislative function of the EU. The Parliament is composed of 751 members, who represent the second-largest democratic electorate in the world (after the Parliament of India) and the largest trans-national democratic electorate in the world (375 million eligible voters in 2009).
Interesting treaties
Interesting when you think of what is Behind them, which controllers.
Its capital, Luxembourg City, together with Brussels and Strasbourg, is one of the three official capitals of the European Union and the seat of the European Court of Justice, the highest judicial authority in the EU.
Strasbourg is at the seat of several European institutions, such as the Council of Europe (with its European Court of Human Rights, its European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines and its European Audiovisual Observatory) and the Eurocorps, as well as the European Parliament and the European Ombudsman of the European Union. The city is also the seat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine and the International Institute of Human Rights.
Lets just pull out One of their organizations called the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines shortened to EDQM is actively involved in a number of other international harmonization initiatives, such as the World Health Organization.
Basically a Lot of control over medicines. . .one of those areas they say they are "helping" you, but have All the control over What goes into those medications.
The contents of the European Pharmacopoeia are elaborated upon and updated by the European Pharmacopoeia Commission, which is responsible for overseeing the practical work of 700 or so experts in every field of the pharmaceutical sciences – all volunteers – who participate in more than 70 Groups of Experts and Working Parties. The European Pharmacopoeia Commission decides on the work programme, appoints the experts, and adopts the monograph.
They're involved in,
Blood Transfusion
Organ, tissue and cell transplantation
Cosmetics and food contact materials
Now lets look at the European Audio Visual Observatory,
The observatory provides statistical and analytical information on the fields of: film, television, video/DVD, new audiovisual media services and public policy on film and television.
They cover and control a great deal,
The information provided by the European Audiovisual Observatory is aimed at professionals working within the audiovisual sector: producers, distributors, exhibitors, broadcasters and other media service providers, international organisations in this field, decision-makers within the various public bodies responsible for the media, national and European legislators, journalists, researchers, lawyers, investors and consultants.
Endorsement by a United Nations organization,
Strasbourg's historic city centre, the Grande Île (Grand Island), was classified a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1988.
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO; is a specialized agency of the United Nations (UN) based in Paris. Its declared purpose is to contribute to peace and security by promoting international collaboration through educational, scientific, and cultural reforms in order to increase universal respect for justice, the rule of law, and human rights along with fundamental freedom proclaimed in the United Nations Charter. It is the successor of the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation.
So. . .Who's Justice are we talking about here? The UN, front for NWO. What is their goal?
What I was led to in finding the "taking down" and in some instances reorganization of Lehman brothers and the rise of Blackstone
Had a connection to Not just the aide of a corrupt Bankruptcy Judge Peck assisted by Andrew Cuomo before he was governor, which appeared to aide the cause of the crisis or weakening of America during the "mortgage crisis" under Obama.
Not just fallout here, but a weakening in Europe as seen from my notes,
At the top of that banking industry is
Daniel Baal CEO banks in EP
A brochure from one of the banks states,
Bank CIC offers you a unique combination of flexibility and solidity: We are part of the Crédit Mutuel Group, one of Europe’s most strongly capitalised banks. At the same time, we adhere to typical Swiss values and speak – in the truest sense of the word – your language: we have been anchored in Switzerland for over 100 years and currently have nine locations. This is where we think and act entrepreneurially and flexibly, according to the motto: act locally, maintain a national presence and benefit from international problem-solving expertise.

In the comments
Why would they want to 'protect' paedophiles? Do THEY have something to hide?
Not one comment was in favor of the pedos. Many spoke out against the EU. They were not in favor of this one bit.

Of course they are its the EU! All they care about is getting their supply and protecting their kind. ANYTHING we believe in think of the opposite and these evil sickos are doing/protecting it......they need to be OUT OF POWER IMMEDIATELY! People should be looking into these EU leaders before their social medias are wiped from the internet.
ArtistiqueJewelry ago
You are So Right TrishaUK!
I had a Horrible time finding info on Daniel Baal, but then again, figured his name said it All!
I've also had a great deal of attackers and distracters while and after I put up the two part series linking Ralph Blasey's company, his CEO and her husband's company. . .life long friends with Blasey, to people connected with fall of Lehman brothers (some reorganization) , rise of Blackstone, weakening of middle class America and Germany . . .and Baal's band profited nicely!
Pretty bizarre, then again. . .there are No Coincidences!
carmencita ago
I have to look closer at this, but it is already making me sick. Disgusting doesn't even cut it. They are dragging their feet with Brexit and May is doing her utmost to hold it off. I told my husband when they were first trying to push through the EU that I hated it and it would only come to no good. Some thought I was crazy. Don't be afraid of progress they said. Yeah, look what a mess we have. It's always Our Children that suffer. We make allowances for the Freedom of Others, but it seems that lately we are forgetting Our Children.
ArtistiqueJewelry ago
That's what they also signal it with and pretend there is something wrong with Freedom Loving people carmencita!
The old progressivism and don't be afraid of change.
Well, if that change is weakening certain citizens and rights. . .No Thank You!
carmencita ago
I thought I was a Progressive but not in their sense of the word. I wanted everyone to be able to have health care through their work like we used to, I wanted fairness for all, not all this crap they are offering when you look under their rock. They lied to us about what it really was. Now I find it is pushing for changing the teaching of Our Children and giving rights to pedophiles. Among other normalization propaganda they are now pushing. I am all for change it it means to go back to Good Values and Our Freedoms that they want to take away. I am into Our Freedoms Not Theirs.
ArtistiqueJewelry ago
Smart girl! I have found this is the case with many others who felt they simply stood for values to help others.
Sadly, the progressives in charge. . . actually have Far more to their agenda they keep concealed, clearly for good reason.
People like you are too smart to fall for their ploys, see through their diabolical, controlling actions and go the other way. ..towards Freedom!
Keep up the Great Work!
carmencita ago
I really have tried to tell others but they think I have gone completely bat crap crazy. They think I am nuts and don't know what happened to me. Little do they know what is down the road for them. What worries me now, is how are we going to stop their Freight Train before it runs us all over.
ArtistiqueJewelry ago
I love you carmencita! You sound like me!
I have said very similar words as even the people who Feel they are in the Know and awake, still don't Really know.
You're right. . .it is a Freight Train and very scary.
Don't worry, everyone thinks I'm nuts, lost most family have about zero friends except for some who are Genuine Patriots in the Awake crowd on different platforms.
I still believe there are more of us than we know. They try to keep them hidden from us.
Almost daily we find posers who are pretending to be on the side of good, but are either fooled by the posers or possibly have been one of them all along.
They end up aiding and abetting them in leading many astray through diabolical distractions.
Generally we can spot them by their actions and sense of entitlement. Eventually they give themselves away when they elevate their selfish agenda above the good of the Patriots and The Plan.
carmencita ago
Good to hear your family things your nuts too. I am on the fence feeling sorry for them or waiting to say I told you so! They say, What sites are you on? Famous last words. Magically their sites are always the right ones. What scares me is the water rationing coming. They have already let led stay in the water and are not fixing it. This ruins the brains of Our Children. So Sad.
ArtistiqueJewelry ago
It really is sad!
We try to get water, I now it's better than the city source, but not certain what contaminates are still in the bottled.
I myself try to drink as much distilled as possible.
All very sad. Hard when we are constantly like John crying in the wilderness trying to show people the truth.
Doesn't help we are constantly kicked down even by many "claiming" to be on the side of good.
I know it's not supposed to be a picnic. Hoping more Will Listen.

What strikes me about that Telegraph article is the lack of information on the EU proposals. Are they referring to the proposals drated last year? https://iapp.org/news/a/the-top-5-contested-issues-in-the-eus-developing-eprivacy-regulation/
Sajid Javid is the UK's new Home Secretary. So which children's foundation board is he connected with? It's the London Early Years Foundation. Let's take a look...

You know how we have 'concern trolls' on these forums, well, this article is about 'concern politics'. I'm not buying what the Telegraph is selling.

No, these were the proposals for the new EU Privacy Law, which was introduced in May 2018.

Of course not. Interesting who came out of the woodworks to state publicy that they care sooooooo much for children who are sexually abused, isn't it?

Yup.

I'll try to find some more info.....
