As the 5th trilogue finished without agreement, Council and the European People's Party (EPP), with Germany's SDP and CDU being the driving forces, are attempting to bypass Parliament and reactivate the already expired #ChatControl 1.0.

No, believe it or not, means no!

#ChatControl 1.0 and 2.0 Explained: There is not one proposed “Chat Control” law — there are two, and they are moving through the EU institutions in parallel. This page untangles the two.

On the topic of #ChatControl, I already started working a few days ago on an english video about my favorite FOSS instant messengers and the ones I think should be avoided. For now, you can take a look at my Software recommendations article on my website.

🇪🇺"Following this totalitarian logic, even our bedrooms would have to be placed under surveillance as potential opportunities for abuse."

#ChatControl 1.0 is just as dangerous today as it was when it was introduced. My plenary speech back then. 👇

🇮🇹"Secondo questa logica di sorveglianza totalitaria, persino le nostre camere da letto dovrebbero essere tenute sotto controllo come potenziali luoghi di abuso."

#ChatControl 1.0 è tanto pericolosa oggi quanto lo era al momento della sua introduzione.👇

🇪🇺 The European Parliament lets #ChatControl 1.0 go through despite a majority voting against it (314:276) – allowing mass scanning of private chats until 2028. Survivors are warning. My analysis and why this is the wrong approach 👇

#DemocracyFail

🇮🇹 Il Parlamento europeo lascia passare il #ChatControl 1.0 nonostante una maggioranza abbia votato contro (314:276) – consentendo la scansione di massa delle chat private fino al 2028. Le vittime mettono in guardia. 👇

#FallimentoDemocratico

#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨

After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.

This is not democratic‼️

#chatcontrol Sembra che si sia fatto l'impossibile per permettere a grandi aziende statunitensi di continuare a scansionare i messaggi privati sulle loro piattaforme. https://pirati.io/2026/07/il-parlamento-europeo-da-il-via-libera-a-chat-control-1-0-breyer-i-nostri-figli-ne-risentiranno/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/116889735116919744

#ChatControl 1.0 è passata in Europa 🥵

Traduciamo il post di Tuta:

«ChatControl è passata nonostante una maggioranza contraria (314 contro 276). Il parlamento europeo l'ha rigettata due volte nel passato ed è stata avanzata come procedura urgente per un nuovo voto in plenaria (n.d.r. mentre l'aula era molto vuota causa vacanze estive). L'Europa ha continuato a mettere la votazione in agenda per ottenere il risultato che si voleva dall'inizio. Questa NON è democrazia»
