📝 I am thrilled to announce the publication of my article: "Chat Control and the Repercussions of Mandatory Communication Detection: Reconciling the EU Child Sexual Abuse Regulation Proposal (2022/0155) with Fundamental Rights, Privacy and Cybersecurity Standards." While combating the dissemination of Child Sexual Abuse Material online is an undeniably compelling public interest objective, the EU’s proposed permanent transition from voluntary to mandatory scanning introduces profound systemic vulnerabilities. In this paper, I argue that a sustainable regulatory framework must protect digital autonomy and prevent intrusive surveillance infrastructures by prioritizing technical viability, cybersecurity, and robust fundamental rights safeguards. By analyzing these measures from a technical perspective, I examine the operational limitations, manipulation risks, and false-positive rates of mass scanning technologies, such as perceptual hashing and AI classifiers, that threaten end-to-end encryption. 💡Whether you are passionate about privacy, cryptography, or the future of EU digital policy, I invite you to dive into the full text for a comprehensive look at the critical friction between security and digital rights. 🖇️:https://lnkd.in/dbQuzTc7 A sincere thank you to the editorial board of the Trento Student Law Review or their dedication and support throughout the publication process. #DataProtection #PrivacyLaw #Cybersecurity #EUlaw #ChatControl #DigitalRights #TrentoStudentLawReview #AcademicPublishing #GDPR #E2EE
