As far as I'm aware, there is none, though the EARN IT act that passed the Senate last year would have brought us closer by opening a company to liability if they provide E2E encryption without a mechanism for CSAM detection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EARN_IT_Act_of_2020

They don’t have to scan by US law. They only have to report detections, so if you have a content moderation team, they must report.

The EU and UK are in the process of passing laws requiring scanning.
