In a major win for digital privacy, the European Parliament just (again) limited all scanning of communications for child abuse material to specific suspects. No mass surveillance, no #chatcontrol. Now the negotiations with Member States will be interesting. They are already supposed to start tomorrow morning.

The results of the roll-call votes are here: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-10-2026-03-11-RCV_EN.pdf The amendment that limits it to "specific suspects" is amendment 5, pages 12-13. #chatcontrol

@bendrath@eupolicy.social To do this they need to ban end to end encryption. So the possibility for mass surveillance is therefore opened, even if they say they won't do it. Have I misunderstood?
