Reaffirming our commitment to child safety in the face of EuropeanUnion inaction
#HackerNews #childsafety #EuropeanUnion #commitment #onlineprotection #digitalrights #safetyfirst

Today, because of the expiry of the ePrivacy derogation enabling the use of technology to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM), Europe risks leaving children across the globe less protected from the most abhorrent harm. This concern is shared by a group of almost 250 child rights organizations and many others.For years, a number of technology companies have taken voluntary action to detect, remove and report CSAM including, where appropriate, through hash-matching technology — a widely utilized tool to prevent and disrupt real, ongoing harm to victims and survivors. This is not just a matter of law, but of protecting children.While EU institutions rightly expect technology companies to take action on child safety, the April 3 expiry of the derogation clouds the legal certainty that has helped responsible platforms try to protect our communities, safeguard child victims, and preserve the integrity of our services. We are disappointed by this irresponsible failure to reach an agreement to maintain established efforts to protect children online.As EU institutions continue to negotiate an immediate, interim solution and durable framework, signatory companies (Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Snap) reaffirm their continued commitment to protecting children and preserving privacy, and will continue to take voluntary action on our relevant Interpersonal Communication Services.We call on EU institutions to conclude negotiations on a regulatory framework as a matter of urgency.To learn more about how hash-matching and CSAM detection tools work, please join this upcoming webinar at 3PM CET on Friday, April 10th.

Freedom Or Commitment RC VS MC
Are you thinking about joining a motorcycle club but torn between an RC (Riding Club) and a full MC (Motorcycle Club)? In this video, we break down the honest differences between Riding Clubs and Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs so you can decide what’s right for you — freedom or commitment.
We go over a popular comparison shared on Pooh’s Facebook page that clearly shows what you can expect when joining an RC versus an MC. From structure and rules to brotherhood, riding, and politics — we keep it real.
Key Topics Covered:
At 53 years old, I’m straight-up about this: What do I really have in common with a 22-year-old in a strict MC? Sometimes the riding club life just makes more sense for grown men who want to ride without all the drama.
If you’re new to the biker scene and wondering “Should I join a Riding Club or a Motorcycle Club?”, this video will help you make an informed decision based on what you actually want — freedom and good times or a heavy commitment and lifestyle.
I live by my core values, which are humanitarian based.
I get on best with folks who also live by their core values, which are humanitarian based.
Life will test you, at various, unexpected points. I've learned that if you ride it out, while still adhering to your core values - things end up working out, in the long run.
