⚡️🇪🇺‼️ ALERT - A black day for freedom and civil rights in Europe.
The European Parliament has voted in favour of "chat control." The lapsed derogation that lets platforms scan private messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is back into force until 2028.
Parliament killed this same text 311 to 228 in March. Today it passed.
How it passed also matters, it was a democracy undermining move from The European People's Party (EPP), the largest group in Parliament, who revived the Council's text as a second-reading position, meaning it stood unless an absolute majority of all MEPs, at least 361, voted to reject or amend it.
