TutaYou did it! 🥳
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 💪

Rita ⁂@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU Oh, WOW!
¡Muchas gracias, Maravillas!
(se llama así la muy jefa: Maravillas Abadía Jover. Y es pepera: aplauso extra).
JProl 🌍🎶💾🆓🐦🏳️🌈 🏴☠️@titi como la mayoría de sus compañeros de grupo...
🔻 aetios 🇪🇺@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU The numbers here are completely different, can you help me understand this?
HowTheyVote.eu@HowTheyVoteEU @Tutanota Thank you, that helps a bunch! Despite following EU politics for several years already, I still get lost now and then!
Lumiukko@HowTheyVoteEU @aetios @Tutanota Another question: Where do you get the title for a proposition from? I couldn't find it on the europarl website, and I thought it is pretty strange to add the purpose of a proposal (here: to "combat online child sexual abuse") in the title.
@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.

Mountain Few@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU it’s good but i don’t know why people that represents my country in 70% has voted to push it. I hate polish goverment
Charo del Genio@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!!!
Gwenn@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU
Je remarque : beaucoup d'élus français ont voté pour 🤬
Étonnament, Knafo s'est abstenue.
Glucksmann n'a pas voté 🙄
Morano a voté contre 🤔

Trit’@gboussard @Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU Ça m’étonne aussi, tellement c’est taillé par et pour eux, mais il semblerait que les fascistes soient contre ce truc (comme en Italie). Peut-être parce qu’ils auraient pigé que ça s’appliquerait AUSSI à eux (et ce serait donc pour ça que ça ne cesse d’être repoussé à chaque fois que ça revient sur la table), cet espionnage généralisé ? 🤔
🐛 Frühlings-Sam@Tutanota Pretty sure that first link is a different case
@Tutanota Either that or the numbers in the first pic are wrong
@weirdmustard Yes, there were two votes, sorry we got that mixed up when posting. Please check here for a detailed explanation of what happened:

@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU
I imagine it would be complicated, but it would be really useful to have a list of elected representatives who didn't vote like most of their party.

eestileib (she/hers)@placebo @Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU
Hell yeah. Glad I voted.
homo hortus@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU Claire Fita (Occitanie, France) voted for the extension, and she belongs to the "Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats". What's the problem? I'll let you find the link between this vote and progressivism, or socialism, or even democracy... I don't think there is one.

One vote. By ONE FUCKING VOTE.
(Now, I don't know if the vote was a "yes for chat control" and it needed more than a simple majority to pass, or if it was a "no for chat control" and the yes votes just scraped by. Those are very different things. But still.)

Iride Massidda@Tutanota 311 v 228 is the final vote, so not that close fortunately
Henrik Pauli
Markus Udosson Bo@Tutanota So they just keep scanning for the US. 😕
José María (Chema) Mateos@Tutanota Good, now let's vote again until the "right" result comes up!

Laurielle@Tutanota This is great! Question, where are you getting the picture from? I'm checking the EU website and the difference seems to be quite bigger that 1 MP (lucky us) https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-10-2026-0040_EN.html#_section4

rtr@Laurielle la imagen es de la votacion de la enmienda 34
omarthat's all gibberish in this report.
seriously, who understand that convoluted crap?
Nemo_bis 🌈@Laurielle AM34 passed with 307 votes and the final text only got 228. The 80 votes lost (mostly among Greens, Left, Renew) were presumably people who voted for the amendment not because they liked it but because they knew EPP wouldn't like it. 157 MEPs in the EPP voted against the amendment and 137 ended up voting against the final text once it passed.

Justin Macleod@Tutanota Wait what? I didn't think private message scanning was ever approved. I thought it kept being blocked and they kept trying to bring it back.

The_Universality@Tutanota I'm happy and incredibly disappointed that it hadn't passed by just ONE.
This is frightening that it has so much support.
