Hello!

@chatcontrol @echo_pbreyer So let me see if I understood: Parlament voted No. LIBE voted No. And then the re vote is marked with 9 days until the expiration date.

If this one comes out as a (hopefully not) 'Yes' to mass scanning - then what? It's 2 No's to 1 yes. Then what? Is it accepted, gone through with that answer? Is it marinated in nothing? More votes?

Does the two other no's mean absolutely nothing to the point they can just demand another vote? Surely, this is not democratic?

The European Parliament is voting again THURSDAY 26th at 11:00 on Chat Control. The Commission, Council, multiple tech giants, the Conservatives (EPP), and several MEPs from S&D and Renew stand united in favouring indiscriminate mass surveillance.

Tell them NO: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

Meta is guilty AF, and these fines and judgments are awesome (keep them coming)

And Zuckerberg's net worth is approx 205 billion, up 1.5 billion today.

So he could pay these fines personally and it would still be a rounding error.

Meta's Q4 revenue was 59 billion.

So yeah - a fine of 375 million and 3 million are rounding errors to these folks.

🚨 UK: The govt wants to ban VPNs, social media & AI chatbots in various contexts. Your silence is a yes.

Make your voice heard before May 26. Fill out the survey and let them know your views: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation

So, apparently... EPP pulled "El Clasico" on us and there will be a revote on #ChatControl bullshit even though basically everyone at this point said NO. As if the message about no #surveillance wasn't clear enough. I hope we beat EPP tomorrow.

From yesterday.

The Commission stands with Big Tech in an utterly wild letter that puts pressure on the democratically elected European Parliament to abandon their rights respecting vote on #ChatControl 1.0 just two weeks ago, and instead give Big Tech two-more-years of mass surveillance of our private communications without any safeguards.
