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 💪

🔻 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.
