It’s a fucking disgrace.
Today (9 July), only 314 MEPs voted to reject Chat Control 1.0 — short of the 361-vote absolute majority needed to stop it — so warrantless mass scanning of private messages continues until 2028. The fight over the permanent Chat Control 2.0 resumes in September. TAKE ACTION NOW to demand your MEPs defend your private messages.

Big Tech’s Lapdog indeed.
“It is a temporary exception that lets U.S. tech firms scan direct messages on services such as Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Gmail and iCloud without a warrant or prior suspicion.”
Utterly shameful. I see Aodhán Ó Ríordáin supported Chat Control too which surprises me. Disappointed.
