🚨 They are bringing back #ChatControl 🚨

Metsola doesn't understand that no means no.

Discussion is scheduled for Monday, so act now: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

@Tutanota I don't understand the 'score' for each European parliament member on the website https://fightchatcontrol.eu

When I check the profile of a Dutch PvdA (thus S&D) representative it says 'supports'. The contrary of what one would expect.

But in the details it says 'Chat Control 1.0 Extension - supports' and 'Chat Control 2.0 - Opposed'

What is this about?

@rrr @Tutanota
In March, all Dutch S&D MEPs voted against a proposal by the Greens/EFA to withdraw the vote on Chat Control 2.0, which is why they are listed as ‘supports’. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/PV-10-2026-03-25-RCV_EN.pdf

A day later, almost everyone from PRO voted against Chat Control 1.0. https://mepwatch.eu/10/vote.html?v=189270&country=nl

If you have confirmation that the MEP is against #ChatControl, you can forward it to: contact[at]fightchatcontrol.eu

@m4963 @Tutanota

Right, version 2.0 is before 1.0 and the vote against 1.0 a day later was against.

You have completely lost me now. This has stopped making sense.

Is there somewhere a quick explanation for citizens who are not deeply involved but are concerned?

@rrr
I would recommend taking a look at these timelines:
- https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#timeline
- https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#timeline

Chat Control 1.0 and 2.0 refer to the sequence of the proposals, but more importantly, to the content of the bill.

1.0 was active for five years in the form of voluntary scanning by social media platforms. Its extension was rejected in March.

2.0 was a proposal introduced in 2022 that would have made the scanning of emails and private messages mandatory.

@m4963 The timeline works perfectly. To visualise it.
@m4963 In that light, I can't really hold it against them to not support the extension of Chat Control 1.0 as it was on a voluntary basis and done by social media platforms. For the politicians good to show that they are concerned about the issue and vote for some crap solution that is not as bad as 2.0 that really should be stopped at all cost.
