The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) innovation hub contributed advice to the government's Safety Tech Challenge Fund (STCF). In a guest blog post by the Saftey Tech Innovation Network, the ICO discusses the lessons it learned from participation. The STCF's purpose is to "explore and evaluate proofs of concept in detecting and flagging Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) while respecting end-to-end encrypted environments and individuals' right to privacy." The ICO offers advice to developers to support the adoption of data protection by design and default. The article examines relevant issues, including consent, purpose limitation, data minimisation and human oversight. Meanwhile, Andre Walter writes for Pinsent Masons that EU proposals requiring online platforms to “detect, report and remove” child sexual abuse images shared by users must not compromise end-to-end encryption technology.
