Had expired in April. This is a tentative of bringing it back up even though it expired after a number of previous extensions.

This was online already. It is existing law that is being extended rather then expired.

Somewhat unsurprisingly too, since the negotiations about a more comprehensive CSAM legislation (the one that now doesn't contain chat control 2.0) isn't done yet.

		CSAM? You mean the system the Belgian state uses to identify children online? (not even joking https://www.csam.be/en/index.html ) Fantastic quotes for services the Belgian government offers: "Make your life easier with CSAM" "CSAM ensures that everyone follows the same rules" "If you are interested in a service CSAM has to offer, please go straight to our Contact page"

2 August 2021.

It already was in force, and EU states are presumably using it right now despite that being illegal. Only to protect the children, of course.
