EU’s Child Safety Delay Draws Fire | Cork News
Description
European lawmakers are under fire for delaying a permanent plan to stop child sexual abuse material from spreading online, especially through encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal. While a temporary measure extends until April 2025, it excludes encrypted platforms — a major gap. Advocates like Noeline Blackwell argue that tech profits are prioritized over child safety, and that any lasting solution must balance privacy and free speech with the fundamental right of children to be protected. A recent EU panel placed the responsibility squarely on tech companies, forcing the bloc to confront whether safeguarding children’s rights is truly a core value — especially as Ireland prepares to lead the EU presidency and push for real, lasting change.
