They are currently voting on amends to the regulation. The “Chat Control” proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

Glad to see so many against, horrible to see that many for, let’s not let this get passed.
SPD ab jetzt noch unwählbarer. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das geht.
why are there some member states not represented here?
No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….
The Italian left voted in favour (what a huge disappointment). FI voted against and it’s a right wing party.
Honestly who surprised me more is Cecilia Strada voting in favour.
Write to her if you wish to change your mind.

All of those Spanish votes against it are from the right
I mean, not all of them, but yeah, big looser energy from the one in the PSOE who voted in favour lmao.
Man that’s a lot of political parties, have you guys ever tried just having one like us in the US? ~please help us~
No Denmark anywhere?
I thought there were many Danish politician for.
I will never vote for SPD again. Bunch of rotten traitors.
Wer hat uns verraten?
On toward Die Linke and Grünen!
Die Partei?
Unironically they’d be a better choice than AfD or Union, but that’s a bar so low you could hardly walk under it.
Hermes’ ancestor!
Alternatively also VOLT, perhaps? It doesn’t hurt to fight for a more unified EU.
I will never vote for neolibs again even with a european paint job.
Volt feels a bit too centrist, semi-neoliberal. But if it gets people away from Union, why not.
Just like UK Labour then. These so-called social-democratic parties will sell out the very people they’re theoretically supposed to protect without a second thought. That’s why they are crashing and burning across Europe and fascist parties are benefitting massively.
We need to take the fight to them with proper leftist politics.
That is interesting. Why in Germany and Austria far-right (AfD, CDU, OVP) are against but center-left / liberals (SPD, SPO) are in favor, while for example in France and Czech Republic it is opposite (RN in favor, EELV against; ANO in favor, KDU-CSL against)?
because civil liberties don’t fit neatly into a left-right spectrum, despite being a lot more important than the economic policies that the left-right spectrum aims to describe, which is why I think the left-right spectrum is mostly useless
Yess! Indeed interesting, maybe member of german and Austria far right parties use chat apps within scope and fear to get caught doing whatever they do 🤔
Oida. Maybe Thomas Schmid trauma is keeping them in line xD
This is more about consistency than anything else.
EU-politicians have promised not to extend Chat Control 1.0 and SPD are the only ones happy to break their promise. The right has Chat Control 2.0 waiting in the wings so the vote to not extend doesn’t hurt their surveillance plans.
Why in Germany and Austria far-right (AfD, CDU, OVP) are against
I guess a combination of contrarianism and the control not going far enough.
Probably more likely that they are against it as long as they can be targeted. They want to wait until they are in charge politically and can control it, and then they’ll be behind it so they can target their perceived enemies.
Pretty much how it went here in the USA. All the shit the right wing used to scream and rail against is everything they’re instituting now that they feel relatively sure they won’t have to let go of the power in the future. Once they get their tentacles in, they’ll turn on a dime and support it.

Glad to see most Germans are against.
The date says 2nd march 2025.
Yes, and it also says LIBE, which is the committee, not plenary, where this was recently voted on. It’s clearly not enough members for a plenary vote, this post is misinformation as titled.
Still too many in favour
López Aguilar es un cabrón. Tener que tirar del PP y de Comuns para tirar la propuesta…
Translation from Spanish: López Aguilar is a S.O.B. Having to resort to PP and Comuns to take down the proposal…
Nunca pensaba que estaría de acuerdo con alguien de PP
