I just watched the EU parliament plenary and they just voted in favor of Chat Control. I can't understand what's going on in their head. The last speaker before the vote had very good points.
I think we should now verify who voted in favor and have all their communications be public from now on.
Edit: name and shame below.

Let's hope it gets voted away again in two days.
the lust for power
Every payment sent, every penny received, every communication, every deal that they try to strike should all be publicised as they seem to forget which direction the transparency should be.
Use an P2P chat and show the middle finger to the chat control. Official chats, like WhatsCrap and similar are anyway controled since ever.
this is some next level lobbying, to even push this so hard and while some of the opposition wont even be there, this is incredible, but i dont get it, even if you pass this through where is the infrastructure to handle all of this?? all in all this is just disgusting level of lobbying
The problem ia that you're assuming their decisions are in good faith. They're very much not. Chat control = control. Destroying privacy only benefits the local gov.
I'm not assuming their decisions are in good faith. I'm assuming they represent/belong to a party with guidelines and are voting publicly.
And it shows. The left and the greens have voted with consistency against. Just to many no-shows to make a difference, however there were no-shows from both sides.
But, the slight left, soc-dems, or however they are called, and center, has, with very little exceptions (which I salute), exclusively voted for it. And this is not according to my understanding of the guidelines but I suppose this is subject to interpretations.
So this actually happened? Fuck me, thats bad news. I only just found out it was happening and it's already done
Deciding on the Procedure means Deciding on the Substance
If the urgency is approved on Tuesday, the decisive vote on the substance is scheduled to take place as early as Thursday – the final sitting day before the summer recess. Experience shows that significantly fewer MEPs are present on this day. However, since 361 votes are required for amendments or a rejection, the reinstatement of the expired “Chat Control 1.0” regulation would become virtually inevitable.
Is this the old Chat Control 1.0 or the new Chat Control 2.0?
What the fuck do we do now?
Please, at least send an email to them: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
I did, not for the first time, but it did not work. It passed, despite a majority voting against it (314:276), because it was not an "absolute majority" (361 votes). What a farce.
