EU countries have agreed on a proposal aimed at curbing the spread of online material depicting child sexual abuse, despite the Czech Republic voting against it. The proposal allows companies to voluntarily break encrypted communication in order to prevent the dissemination of harmful content. The final wording will still need to be negotiated with the European Parliament. The issue was commented on for ČT24 by Viktor Daněk, Deputy Executive Director and Head of the Prague Office of the EUROPEUM Institute.
