New year, old discussion: This year the EU will start the trilogue discussion on the
EU Commission's Child Sexual Abuse Regulation (CSAR), which proposes to scan every message of EU citizens for abuse material.
Last year, the EU Parliament already positioned itself against such client-side scanning - a huge success for
privacy advocates in Europe. Now is the time for EU Member states to position themselves in this battle of privacy vs
surveillance. We, a coalition of privacy-first companies from Europe, call on our ministers to uphold citizen's right
to privacy and defend strong encryption.
