Why was chat control allowed to be presented again in the first place.

Why do we have to keep fighting our own government for our rights? Why can't our government just represent us?

Can it just fuck off for good this time?

Will they just revote again then until it passes?

Why can't they vote on a ban to do any chat control bills? Stop this nonsense from happening again.

Good, but pretty meaningless overall while they still allow lobbying to take place. They pretend to care that lobbying means corruption from corporate interests, but doing anything meaningful to stop lobbying entirely and punish anyone still doing it would be "authoritarian communism" now, wouldn't it?

Saw this then scrolled more to see the EU going after porn sites for age verification. 😞

I imagine they're thinking, "Well we will see what the new vote next month has to say about that!"

No, not really. It's because they retracted the proposal before going to vote, because they knew it wouldnt pass after Germany publicly said they would vote against. Then they changed some stuff and send it again, which is now rejected as it seems. Now they need to wait, but they didnt before.

They won't stop pushing until they get it

We have to win every time. They only need to win once.

Scroll down and select your country: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ It's always the ones you most expect.

Probably Patrick Breyer, who often posts about privacy issues in the EU parliament. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/

i think they mean patrick breyer from the german pirate party

https://howtheyvote.eu/votes/189574 EPP and ECR voted against extension, but IIRC the reason is that they wanted stricter controls instead. Most other parties were largely in favour of extending the current chat control mandate.

I didn't say it was unexpected. It's inconsistent with the result reported. I'd like to be able to use that website as a way to see how our representatives are voting but I'd need something which at least corresponds with reality. Maybe it does but I can't see the correspondence.

I'm talking about a web page linked to by MoffKalast, see comments above

We should topple the EU then tbh

Thats actually insane in itself that it got that close. Next time they will succeed. :/ People are so stupid to support this. They dont seem to understand that its never about protecting anyone and its always about building dystopia.

Even worse I think there was one more vote for the extension but they need 50% +1 to pass and there were 24 abstentions.

@WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2026-03-31 10:56
> as regards the extension of its period of application does it mean that this vote was only about the extension of the regulation that allowed voluntary participation in scanning for chat providers? honestly, that's the lesser of the worries, we know facebook and fo are scanning all messages going through them no matter what
-
@WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2026-03-31 11:02
also, I was surprised that in my conservative country no MEP voted with acceptance. but maybe it's because the proposal included adding clauses like this? > (v) not applied to interpersonal communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been or will be applied; https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-10-2026-0070_EN.html

IIRC (but could be wrong) the EPP wanted stricter chat controls, not an extension of what was already there.
