1. Dear Commissioner Johansson, I am writing on behalf and by mandate of LIBE coordinators to express concern about recent reports published in press outlets that allegedly indicate a conflicts of interest with regard to the proposal for a Regulation laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse (2022/0155(COD)). Those aforementioned media reports point to alleged close working relationships between the European Commission and a broad network of tech companies, foundations, security agencies and PR agencies, including Thorn and WeProtect Global Alliance, indicating possible undue influence in the drafting of the proposal. Of particular concern are the allegations that the solutions laid down in the legislative proposal to fight CSAM supposedly replicate the solutions designed by those groups, contributing thereby to furthering their economic interests. Therefore, I would kindly request to receive clarifications and explanations concerning the allegations described above. The LIBE coordinators would appreciate to receive a reply at your earliest convenience and ideally no later than one week from the receipt of this letter. We consider that your cooperation and timely reaction to this request would benefit transparency and accountability, values that are at the heart of the European Union’s actions. Yours sincerely, Juan Fernando LÓPEZ AGUILAR

  Der Druck auf Ylva Johansson wächst. Nach den Recherchen mehrerer europäischer Zeitungen zu Lobby-Verflechtungen bei der Chatkontrolle fordert der Innenausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments jetzt Aufklärung.

  @ella von @edri kritisiert: "Die EU-Kommissarin führt Parlament und Öffentlichkeit in die Irre. Europas größtes Netzwerk für digitale Rechte versuchte dreimal, sich mit der Kommissarin zu treffen, und wurde jedes Mal abgewiesen. Die Behauptung, der politische Entscheidungsprozess sei unvoreingenommen und repräsentativ gewesen, stellt eine falsche Darstellung der Realität dar."

  Ylva Johansson hat dem LIBE-Ausschuss geantwortet. Die EU-Kommissarin sieht kein Problem: "Es gibt kein Fehlverhalten." Sie behauptet, nicht nur Chatkontrolle-Befürworter zu treffen, sondern auch Gegner. Das ist falsch, bis heute lehnt sie ein Treffen mit @edri ab.

  Der LIBE-Ausschuss im EU-Parlament hat einen Brief an Ylva Johansson geschrieben. Erstmal antwortet Thorn. Die EU soll einen neuen globalen Standard für Kinderschutz setzen. "Technologie ist die Grundlage für jede Lösung zur Verhinderung und Bekämpfung [von sexuellem Kindesmissbrauch]." https://netzpolitik.org/wp-upload/2023/10/2023-10-02_Thorn_LIBE_Letter.pdf

  1. We would like to share with you our perspective on the allegations regarding Thorn, which are unfounded. 1. Thorn is a nonprofit organisation that builds tools to defend children from sexual abuse. We only have one objective: making the online world a safe space for children. 2. As a nonprofit organization, and as mandated by our charter, we cannot and do not operate for profit. 3. Thorn makes its tools available to technology companies, often small to medium in size, that do not typically have the necessary capabilities to combat child sexual abuse on their platforms. The compensation granted for our support by these platforms does not generate profits for us. This amount does not even cover all of our programs and initiatives. 4. We depend heavily on donations to develop and improve the sophisticated technological solutions necessary to defend child sexual abuse in the digital age. 5. Thorn strongly believes that the European Union is set to establish a new global standard for child protection. We work at the intersection between child protection and tech development. Thorn stands ready to continue sharing this unique expertise with all stakeholders involved in shaping the future legislative framework in Europe, including Members of the European Parliament, Member States, and the European Commission. We do so transparently and in accordance with rules and codes of ethical interest representation.
