I wanted to just post who voted for and against in my country, but I looked to exact text, and I am suspecting this is misleading info.
Can I reliably use this information to determine who voted against chat control 1.0?
Because all parties voted to preserve end-to-end-encryption with "Amendment 1",
and "Amendment 2" (another one) is worded quite similarly to "Amendment 5" (this one), where all parties also voted for it (except I see double voting for the 2nd amendment text which makes things extra unclear).
So, is this presented vote for "Amendment 5" a reliable way to tell who voted against chat control 1.0?
P.S. full text of regulation (context) is not visible on the websites, making things unclear as well.
@mindaugas @echo_pbreyer The key in Patricks post seems to be
> MEPs backed a mandate against warrantless mass scanning.
Am 5 was the one adding this (limitation to targeted users) into the text. Here's the link to the PDF containing Am 5: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-10-2026-0040-AM-004-006_EN.pdf
I hope this makes things clearer?
@mindaugas
On this note - we are aware that looking at amendments right now at HowTheyVote.eu is not perfect and are working on improving this. Your feedback that the text needs to be easier accessible is duly noted!
For the time being: On each vote page, we have a link "Report or resolution" under the "More information" section. There, you will find a dropdown containing all amendment texts with their number.
@HowTheyVoteEU @echo_pbreyer thank you, yes, both links make things a bit clearer, as both show there are a lot more going on behind the scenes with all those other amendment proposals, and that proposals overlap etc.
But on the high level, it still appears they voted by political affiliation, not because of the content (because 5th and 2nd texts say almost the same thing, just proposed by different groups; and all groups voted against chat control).
It appears they (EPP, S&D, Renew) could have voted for 5th amendment, because it extra clarified "targeted", but did not for whatever reason
(I am speculating, maybe they also could also be reasoning that 5th is the same like their own proposal, and did not want to give Greens points, or whatever.
If that's the case, then they all playing some kind of political game, as now Pirates frame this as they voted FOR chat control in the picture above, or at least how I initially understood, but after digging deeper, they aren't).
