The European Parliament Votes on Chat Control Again
The Parliament voted no on indiscriminate scanning. The EPP is trying to reverse that decision today.
The European Parliament already rejected indiscriminate scanning of private messages. Today, the European People’s Party (EPP) is attempting to force a new vote to reverse that decision on short notice.
This is the same surveillance proposal we have written about before and again. Nothing about the proposal has improved. Scanning private messages breaks end-to-end encryption, creates infrastructure that can be repurposed for broader surveillance and treats every citizen as a suspect.
The Parliament said no. That should be the end of it. Forcing repeated votes until the answer changes does not belong in a democracy.
The vote happens today. If this matters to you, now is the time to reach out to your MEPs.
