Chat Control 1 is back. By a margin of 314-276, the EU Parliament voted to reject the legislation. However, since it was an urgent procedure, an absolute majority of 361 votes was required. As a result, the majority lost and Chat Control 1 passed. The urgent procedure was a dirty tactic by the Council and parts of the Parliament – it’s a procedure not meant to be used for legislation already rejected by the Parliament.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online An absolute majority to reject was required today because this is a second reading in Parliament, not because the urgency procedure was used.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online Do you think it could also be used to target immigrants, like your co-founder is doing?

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online What's more important to do is kicking out your fascist CEO.

@mullvadnet@mastodon.online your fascist execs would be ecstatic if there was something like this for immigrants and brown people. why should we care what you think or say about this?
