Mentions the vote two weeks ago, says it was based on 5 years of experience. Supports the position of two weeks ago, accuses Council of having left the negotiation table. Supports scanning of known material, rejects scanning unknown material, asks for the same decision again. Protests against disinformation in the last days.

The Proposal was rejected!

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!

I don't get why so many MEPs from the EPP Group voted against Chat Control 1.0. Weren't they the ones pushing for it?

#ChatControl #chatcontrolle

@m4963 Not sure, pick your reason:
- Wanting it without any safeguards limiting data collection to what is necessary
- Not wanting to ban detection on E2EE communication
- Not wanting to play along changing their position in a second vote
- Wanting the time duration limited to 1 year
- Successful activism against the proposal

@maxim
Yeah, they probably weren't happy with the result of the vote on Am 34.
