UPDATE: The European Parliament voted today to *end* untargeted mass scanning of private communications, firmly rejecting the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years! Next: trilogue negotiations w/ Commission and Council.
Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats

In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.

@chatcontrol 🥳 some good news among Orwellian news after Orwellian news

@chatcontrol

I wish we had time to celebrate the win but we ALREADY need to fight "age verification" around the world including multiple E.U. states!

@chatcontrol We did it Patrick! We momentarily saved the world!
@chatcontrol but there is no obligation to stop the current scanning implemented by some companies, right? #chatcontrol
@bogo @chatcontrol Depends on the trilogue outcome
@chatcontrol So, we are not going to save the children :)
