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 💪
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
REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 as regards the extension of its period of application | A10-0040/2026 | European Parliament
REPORT on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1232 as regards the extension of its period of application (COM(2025)0797 - C10-0370/2025 - 2025/0429(COD)) Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Rapporteur: Birgit Sippel
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.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] 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.
