Today, the European Parliament allowed the suspicionless mass scanning of private communications (“Chat Control 1.0”) to pass. (More MEPs voted against than for, but not absolute majority). US tech companies are once again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion. This affects direct messages on platforms like Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Gmail. The interim regulation passed today will remain in effect until 2028, or until an agreement on a permanent regulation is reached. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-parliament-greenlights-chat-control-1-0-breyer-our-children-lose-out/
