Narrow majority to allow the urgent motion to reinstate #ChatControl 1.0 mass scans.
331 in favor.
304 against.
11 abstentions.
A dark day for privacy and democracy. On Thursday, there will be a vote on the substance of the law. Only an absolute majority can stop it. 🚨

Procedural trick: Governments try to rush the European Parliament with a fast-tracked procedure on #ChatControl 1.0. 🚨 Already next week they want to force yet ANOTHER vote.
This way, they try to break the resistance of the European Parliament against mass surveillance in the negotiations on a permanent Chat Control 2.0 law.
@heiseonlineenglish@social.heise.de has the details:

Urgent procedure, right before EP summer break & during world cup: every vote counts now

Video of #chatcontrol 1.0 voting yesterday 2026-07-09. 16 minutes:

Summary:
1) It starts with 2 MEPs pointing out procedural ~violations ("points of order")
2) Then it continues with important vote 314 vs. 276.
3) Then there was ~25 more votes on amendments. Was interesting to look through the patterns how Parliament groups vote.
4) And it finish with a lot of confusion at the end for 5 minutes about final vote. MEPs did not know what they vote exactly. Now it is a bit more clear after everything happened (which vote was most important? it was 1st), but when watching this drama live - situation was tense and unclear.
While the latest #ChatControl proposal didn't proceed to a vote, the proponents of the interception of all chat traffic will undoubtedly continue their efforts to get the law passed - like they have for years now. It will resurface shortly, disguised and modified but effectively pushing for the same end result: removal of end-to-end encryption.
We must stay vigilant and continue to fight for our freedoms.
#StopChatcontrol #privacy
🇩🇪 Today we celebrate #GermanUnityDay – a victory over oppression & mass surveillance.
But history warns us: #ChatControl could bring surveillance back at a scale East Germany could only have dreamed of.
Let’s defend freedom & say NO to #ChatControl! ✊

🇪🇺✅ Good news: No "dirty deal" on #ChatControl 2.0 in yesterday's trilogue! 🎉 The Parliament stood firm – thanks to your pressure. But: the threat remains, next showdown likely in November.

We did it: The EU Parliament continues to OPPOSE #ChatControl 2.0! 🥳
Thanks everyone for writing to representatives. 🫶
The next trilogue is scheduled for November, we must make sure that end-to-end encryption and private communication remains to be protected!

🚨🇪🇺 The #ChatControl trilogue starts on Tuesday & the EU Council is trying to pressure Parliament into giving up its opposition. We must stop them once again! 💪🏼
And the proposed compromise isn't targeted policing, it is mass surveillance!
Because no matter the framing, the truth remains the same: There's no backdoor for the good guys only!
We at Tuta will continue to fight for your right to #privacy. Make your voice heard as well, today is the day!

@Tutanota@mastodon.social In the Netherlands we have an Archive Law an a Law Open Government which says that any and all messages to a member of parliament or government, whether digital or not, must be archived and be publicly available upon request. Deleting them is illegal.
IDK if there is such a law for the EC and the EP. I hope there is. There should be.
Under this law, any and all messages from lobbyists to EC/EP members would be public domain.
If they want #ChatControl, I want their Whatsapp.

Norge er det forbudt å åpne og lese andre sine brev uten deres samtykke. Chatkontroll åpner opp for at de mest sårbare i vårt samfunn får sine private meldinger flagget og åpnet av ansiktløse fremmede i EU. Dette gjelder uavhengig om personen er 5 eller 90. EFN sier tydlig NEI til #chatcontrol

I really miss the time when the #eu @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu was still focused on, or at least respecting its peoples #privacy. I really liked the idea they tried to achieve with the #gdpr.
Now, only a few months after #chatcontrol "we need to read all of your private messages" ruling, we get the #eukidsact "You need to identify yourself when using anything on the internet" ruling.
I miss the old EU
