President vs Parliament: Metsola overrides MEPs in bid to force through child abuse law

by J.C. DE MARTIN

La tenacia con cui insistono per approvare questa misura orwelliana, è davvero molto, molto interessante... chissà che cosa hanno letto i politici, in qualche rapporto confidenziale, per spingerli a comportarsi così.... di certo il contrasto al "child abuse" è solo uno schermo.... JC * President vs Parliament: Metsola overrides MEPs in bid to force through child abuse law */ The European Parliament president’s power play is “without precedent,” diplomats wrote in a note seen by POLITICO. / June 24, 2026 6:00 am CET By Sam Clark <https://www.politico.eu/author/sam-clark/> BRUSSELS — European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is trying to push through a controversial law on scanning child abuse content online even though it has been repeatedly slapped down by her own chamber, according to a document seen by POLITICO. In a step that diplomats deem “without precedent,” the top EU politician has asked member countries in the Council to approve a bill that her own Parliament shot down in a plenary vote in March. At stake is whether the EU allows tech platforms to voluntarily scan their services for child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The issue has been mired in controversy, with police <https://www.europol.europa.eu/media-press/newsroom/news/combatting-child-se…> and child rights advocates <https://www.iwf.org.uk/news-media/statements/eu-failure-on-temporary-deroga…> and European commissioners arguing that a lack of legislation allows predators and pedophiles to operate with impunity online. Privacy campaigners <https://www.politico.eu/article/one-man-spam-campaign-ravages-eu-chat-contr…>, meanwhile, have argued the proposals could lead to unacceptable mass surveillance and the end of encryption <https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-online-child-sexual-abuse-material-csam-…>. Ambassadors on Friday will consider an “invitation of the President of the European Parliament [to] proceed with the Council’s first reading position” on the proposal to allow tech companies to choose to scan for CSAM, said a note by the Cyprus presidency of the Council of the EU dated June 22. In the note, Cyprus asked capitals to “carefully consider” the invitation, “even if this would be without precedent in the present circumstances." Talks between the Parliament and the Council collapsed in March, just days before the temporary legislation was due to expire. Lawmakers in the Parliament later resisted last-ditch pressure from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, four European commissioners, tech giants Meta, Google and Microsoft and numerous children’s charities, eventually voting down an attempt to pass the bill in March by a margin of 311 to 228 with 92 abstentions. A spokesperson for Metsola said the issue was "raised and asked for" at a meeting of heads of the Parliament's political groups. An EU parliament official said the European People's Party, the group to which Metsola belongs, raised it and no groups objected. The official was granted anonymity to disclose confidential details of the meeting. Lawmakers working on the legislation now feel Metsola has gone over their heads to invite the Council to adopt a position that the Parliament had already rejected, according to two Parliamentary aides. Markéta Gregorová, a Czech lawmaker with the Greens group in the Parliament and shadow lead lawmaker on the law, described herself as “extremely surprised” by the move and said Metsola’s invitation is “unacceptable and undermines the European Parliament position.” Hilde Vautmans, a Belgian lawmaker with the liberal Renew group and shadow lead lawmaker on the file, said reopening debate on the temporary law is a “political dead end.” “Parliament has rejected it twice, and that will not change,” she said. Spokesperson for the liberal Renew group Nick Petre said it was "concerned" the move to reopen negotiations could weaken Parliament's position to negotiate rules on child sexual abuse material. "After trilogue negotiations on the interim file failed, it is difficult to see how reviving that process now would bring us closer to a lasting solution. On the contrary, it could delay progress on the comprehensive legislation that victims, law enforcement and online platforms all need," he said. The invitation to ambassadors to proceed has not been previously reported. Close the legal gap The European Commission proposed the temporary CSAM bill as a stopgap measure to allow companies to scan while legislators agreed on a more permanent solution. As talks stalled on the latter, legislators were working to extend the former — at least until the dispute over the stopgap measure came to a head earlier this year. The Council and the Parliament couldn’t agree on terms to extend it, so the law lapsed in early April and companies were left without a legal basis for voluntary scanning. Tech firms continued to scan, despite the legal limbo. Metsola called publicly <https://www.europarl.europa.eu/resources/library/media/20260618RES45739/202…> to look at “how to find an agreement on a second reading of this file,” in an address to EU leaders last week. Cyprus in Monday’s note said there was a “pressing need” to close that legal gap. It said it “takes note of the political signal from the President of the European Parliament to encourage continuing the work on the proposal.” If capitals choose to adopt their position, the law does not automatically pass: The Parliament would need to either accept it or re-enter negotiations. “There is no certainty that [the Parliament] would adopt the legislative act in second reading in line with the Council’s first reading position,” Cyprus wrote in the note. Gregorová rejected the suggestion that lawmakers would budge. “The Parliament mandate is clear: A majority voted it down, meaning that we reject the extension.” According to EU procedures, if capitals and the Parliament continue to disagree, they could move to a rare procedure known as conciliation <https://www.europarl.europa.eu/olp/en/conciliation/overview>. Lawmakers will meet next Monday for a political negotiation on the other, permanent bill to tackle CSAM, though a deal at that meeting is unlikely, two Parliament officials and one national official involved in the process said last week. /Max Griera contributed reporting./ /This article was updated to include a comment from a spokesperson for Metsola and a Renew spokesperson and additional detail./

Domanda attivistica: Qualcuno si è già premurato di effettuare un esposto al Garante della Privacy, mettendo a conoscenza il DPO dell'ente, oltre a fare un accesso civico per qualunque documento relativo a tale condivisione / accordi?

"Climate Goals Be Gone: Data Center Lobbyists Hard-Drilling Their Way Through EU Environmental Laws"

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Climate Goals Be Gone: Data Center Lobbyists Hard-Drilling Their Way Through EU Environmental Laws* Jun 21, 2026 The European AI Action Plan boasts the ambitious goal of tripling data center power capacity in roughly five years—a target that could clash with the actual capabilities of today’s electric grid. This limitation has become the focal point of international political clashes, with various nations vigorously debating which direction to take in building new power plants. Meanwhile, the sector’s lobby is pressuring institutions to set aside predetermined environmental objectives to focus exclusively on data center development. The European Union, like other major global powers, sees cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence as the future of economy, work, security, and Defense. These digital resources often intertwine with one another but all rest on infrastructures that, with the progressive evolution of technology, require an increasingly large amount of energy resources. To understand how electricity demand is evolving, financial consulting firm S&P Global estimates that European data center energy demand will double by 2030. In response to this phenomenon, the influence of the European Nuclear Alliance is growing at the same pace, an organization that Italy also officially joined last year. According to the European Data Center Association (EUDCA) lobby, neither the renewed interest in nuclear power nor that in renewables will allow Europe to meet the urgency of energy production and distribution. Or, to be precise, the group doubts that the interventions planned to meet demand will be completed within the established timelines. “Every good idea is currently hampered by the certainty, on paper, that everything will move within the predicted timelines,” lamented Lex Coors, president of EUDCA, according to Politico.

Re: "Genova, 1,2 Petabyte di immagini per addestrare l’intelligenza artificiale. E la sovranità?"

by Damiano Verzulli

Grazia per la condivisione. Interessante. Condivido appieno lo spirito dell'autore... ma contesto questo passaggio: ============================================ [...] A oggi non risulta pubblicamente reperibile un atto amministrativo formale, una delibera di Giunta o una determinazione dirigenziale, con cui il Comune di Genova autorizza la messa a disposizione delle immagini per l’addestramento dell’intelligenza artificiale. L’operazione viene raccontata come collaborazione e come partecipazione a una iniziativa privata, non come provvedimento pubblicato e tracciabile. Per un trattamento di questa natura, su larga scala, in luoghi pubblici e per una finalità nuova come l’addestramento di modelli, la prudenza giuridica imporrebbe quantomeno una valutazione d’impatto sulla protezione dei dati e un accordo che definisca con chiarezza titolarità e responsabilità. Documenti che il cittadino ha il diritto di vedere, e che lo strumento dell’accesso civico generalizzato consente di richiedere. [...] ============================================ Da dipendente di una P.A. (io) nonché funzionario con una modestissima responsabilità, sono super-sicuro che esistono NUMEROSI strumenti giuridici per acquisire, scientificamente, tutte le informazioni che servono (a questa lista) per ragionare sul quadro generale dell'operazione descritta nell'articolo (che potrebbe essere esterno a quanto raccontato [e forse anche a quanto concordato] con i funzionari del Comune di Genova, interessati). In particolare: * e' certamente possibile richiedere al Comune (basta una PEC) la conferma che l'operazione sia stata fatta "a costo zero" o "a costo maggiore di zero"; * se "a costo maggiore di zero", allora ci sono N strumenti (a partire dal CIG) per tracciare e ricostruite tutta la filiera (a partire dagli importi e dai soggetti/aziende interessati); * se "a costo zero", è chiaro che la questione assume totalmente una valenza politica, e quindi le considerazioni da fare saranno esclusivamente tali (non che non servano anche nel caso precedente). PEC, RTD, DPO, responsabile dell'area finanza, responsabile prevenzione-trasparenza-corruzione, flussi dati [obbligatori] verso ANAC... sono i primi strumenti che mi vengono in mente e che supportano la "trasparenza". Se qualcuno è interessato... che chiedesse informazioni. Aspettarsi esclusivamente un comportamento proattivo dall'altro lato... non lo trovo corretto. Poi... l'idea che si potrebbero avviare delle iniziative (di (in)formazione?) "massiva" ai Comuni... per dirgli che la prossima volta che qualcuno gli chiede gli stream-video... almeno che se li facessero pagare profumatamente... è tutto un altro discorso.
