Regulation 2021/1232/EU on a temporary derogation from certain
provisions of the E-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) allows for a
temporary derogation from Articles 5(1) and 6(1) of the E-Privacy
Directive, so that communications service providers can continue to
use certain technologies that scan content, including images and
text, and analyse traffic data, which would otherwise be in breach
of data protection and privacy laws. The legislation will apply for
a maximum of three years, or fewer if new permanent rules on
tackling child sexual abuse online are agreed in the meantime.
The legislation will enter into force on the third day following
publication, i.e., on 2 August 2021. To access the legislation in
the Official Journal 30 July 2021 L 274/41, click here.
