This vote fails to reject the whole regulation but approves text amendments and now the whole process goes back to the LIBE Committee (Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs)
Amendment 5, tabled by Pirate Party MEP Markéta Gregorová (Greens/EFA group) and adopted by a narrow margin, demands that any scanning of private communications must be strictly limited to individual users or groups of users suspected by a competent judicial authority of being linked to child sexual abuse. This aligns with the European Parliament’s 2023 mandate on the permanent Chat Control regulation (CSAR).

Only suspicion of CSAM? No scanning of suspected drug traffickers etc.? Interesting I guess.
In US law (no idea whether EU is similar), the standard for wiretapping someone is “probable cause” which is stronger than “suspicion”. So I’m bothered somewhat by the term “suspicion” in that wording.
As a Dane I’m curious why this article is only available in English and French. Usually EU articles get translated to all EU languages.
