this is the real thing, this is almost certainly unconstitutional.

greedy corps going against law as usual.

Because unfortunately our rights are opposed to the will of capital and they serve capital first and foremost

To put it in Douglas Adams words: Because the politicians are lizards ;)

Thats actually insane in itself that it got that close. Next time they will succeed. :/

People are so stupid to support this. They dont seem to understand that its never about protecting anyone and its always about building dystopia.

Even worse I think there was one more vote for the extension but they need 50% +1 to pass and there were 24 abstentions.

i don't understand, was EPP for or against the extension ? Cause my understanding was that they asked to have a second vote even if the first one already rejected the extension.

as regards the extension of its period of application

does it mean that this vote was only about the extension of the regulation that allowed voluntary participation in scanning for chat providers?

honestly, that's the lesser of the worries, we know facebook and fo are scanning all messages going through them no matter what

also, I was surprised that in my conservative country no MEP voted with acceptance. but maybe it's because the proposal included adding clauses like this?

(v) not applied to interpersonal communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been or will be applied;

It's always the ones you most expect.

I think that Patrick posted it. basically the ones against where the conservatives, both left and right where against (even if there were some people inside those parities who voted to continue the scanning)

EDIT: apparently EPP voted against not because they want to support privacy but because the proposal was not enough invasive. they were afraid that it would have stopped their Chat control 2.0 proposal.

If you have money you can ask the lobbyists.

Dude, we're protesting now until all those fuckers who voted in favor of chat control are voted out of parliament. We have names!
