The assignment would include:
-Review of our current policy positions to see how they would inform a position on these approaches to tackling CSAM, including our policy on consensual teen sexual activity, opposition to the weakening or breaking of end-to-end encryption (E2EE), etc.
-Review of proposed strategies for tackling CSAM in key jurisdictions including the EU, UK and USA, as well as any other countries or multi-lateral initiatives (such as the UNODC) proposing measures that will have an impact on human rights and digital rights.
-The human rights implications of these measures, for instance how weakening encryption or client-side scanning poses risks to children's right to privacy, but also all users' right to privacy and also poses risks to the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly in repressive contexts.
-The pros and cons of the proposed strategies and whether or not they are consistent with human rights, particularly the rights of the child, and digital rights.
-The research should also consider consensual sharing of sexually explicit images between teenagers who may be affected by any laws or measures to tackle CSAM.
-Look into the positive role education about online safety might play in mitigating some risks and government duties to provide such education to minimise harm to children and balance other rights.
OBJECTIVES AND DELIVERABLES
The Consultant will deliver:
-An internal policy briefing on the human rights implications of measures to tackle the creation and dissemination of CSAM on the internet.
-The main human rights concerns of each of these measures, for instance the risk to the right to privacy of breaking or weakening E2EE.
-The human rights implications of these measures on consensual teen sexual activity such as sexting or the consensual taking of explicit photos.
-An analysis of the human rights implications of AI-generated CSAM in order to inform Amnesty's position on this.
-An overview of the main measures to tackle CSAM that have been proposed in legislation, for instance client-side scanning of photos on mobile devices or actions that companies have introduced voluntarily such as scanning cloud-based services.
-The pros and cons (and ergo the proportionality and necessity) of each of these measures in terms of their ability to tackle CSAM versus the impacts they have on other rights or the limitations to their effectiveness in tackling CSAM.
-What role can education play in mitigating these online harms related to CSAM?
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
-Knowledge of international human rights law and the human rights framework as it relates to children's rights.
-Experience of working on the issues connected to children's rights in the digital environment.
-Understanding of key human rights issues (such as the right to privacy) related to the digital technologies such as end to end encryption.
