🇪🇺 ✅ #ChatControl stopped - mass scans end on April 4! ❌ But: Age verification and new mass scans loom ahead. How we narrowly won today's voting thriller, who voted how, and how the fight for digital freedom continues: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/end-of-chat-control-eu-parliament-stops-mass-surveillance-in-voting-thriller-paving-the-way-for-genuine-child-protection/

„A bar chart showing the extremely close EU Parliament vote on AI Chat Control (Amendment 34) regarding the end of automated scanning of private messages. The final result: 307 voted For (ending the scan), 306 voted Against (keeping the scan), and 24 abstained. The amendment was accepted. The breakdown by political group shows: Greens, The Left, Renew, and a majority of S&D voted to end the scanning. The Conservatives (EPP), ECR, and PfE voted mostly against it.“
