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).

This is a bad law. It’s an awful precedent, and they need to stop.
This can and will be used to suppress people for years. This is on the same scale of bad as the Patriot Act.
The amendment doesn’t change it really. You’re still forcing communications through the back doored system, and if you can get a warrant anyway you should do it.
How so?
Don’t get me wrong, they are doing the same thing with age controls, that’s the trojan horse, redesigned as a trojan sheep to fit in, that they are banking on, to put “AI” run by thiel types to make secret social scores to be used against us, allowing the worst people in the world to pick winners and losers.
Existential. Fight.
