Sweden's Government is backing a controversial EU proposal to make it possible to monitor all digital messages sent between users, in order to combat online child sexual abuse.
Critics say the proposal, which is currently under discussion between EU member countries and the European Parliament, may put privacy and data at risk.
The Social Democrats also support the proposal, however the Sweden Democrats and the Centre Party are opposed.
