Here's the votes on the Comission Proposal. In favor 228. Against: 311. No extension of chatcontrol 1.0 for now, meaning the legislation will expire soon by April 3rd, making it effectively illegal to keep scanning voluntarily!

@maxim On that page it shows that Birgit Sippel did vote *for* the proposal. Isn't that strange given her rejection of the Commission's approach in her speech earlier? Or is there something I'm misunderstanding?

@titaniumbiscuit It seems the parliament's position was quite close to the previous one.

The amendments for limiting to strictly necessary data & a ban on scanning of E2EE communication were re-approved, the difference would have been that the scanning wouldn't have necessarily been targeted & the duration would've been 2 years (Commission proposal) instead of 1 year (previous vote).

She might've felt the difference to be too small for her to change her vote to reject.
