European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop.
This means on April 6, 2026, Gmail, LinkedIn, Microsoft and other Big Techs must stop scanning your private messages in the EU. #PrivacyWins 💪

@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU Oh, WOW!
¡Muchas gracias, Maravillas!
(se llama así la muy jefa: Maravillas Abadía Jover. Y es pepera: aplauso extra).
@titi como la mayoría de sus compañeros de grupo...
@lumiukko Great question! It’s the official title of the legislative procedure the vote belongs to: https://oeil.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/en/procedure-file?reference=2025/0429(COD)
We use that as a fall-back, until all data from Parliament has been uploaded. This is also why you might see this changing at some point.
We don’t editorialize titles or hand-pick them.

Looks like you need to find the "Amendments" section at top of [1] to find Amendment 34 (Am 34) [2], which passed by 307 vs 306. IIUC, Am 34 put strong restrictions requiring specific justification to justify spying, and forbidding spying that bypasses E2EE.
IIUC, if the vote on the overall Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 had passed, then thanks to Am 34, the regulation would have hypothetically been weakened.

@dnkrupinski @aetios @HowTheyVoteEU There were two votes, sorry we got that mixed up when posting. Please check here for a detailed explanation of what happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47529646
@invisibleghost777 @Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU what can I say? Amongst the Italian MEPs, the only ones who voted against it were the communists and the Lega, which is a party literally founded on racism as an ideology. WTF!
ALL the members of the Democratic Party voted in favour. I repeat myself, WTAF!!!
@weirdmustard Yes, there were two votes, sorry we got that mixed up when posting. Please check here for a detailed explanation of what happened:
