The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) has voted 43 in favour and 19 against, with 4 abstaining, to extend the temporary ePrivacy Directive derogation to combat child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

Earlier in the week, European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) Wojciech Wiewiórowski warned against such an extension.
