In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications.

Pressure is now mounting on EU governments to respect the MEPs’ vote and bury untargeted mass surveillance in Europe once and for all.

    Doesn’t mean anything yet. Parliament can get overruled by the Council, whom seem more in favor of untargeted scanning.
