‼️🇪🇺 A black day for freedom and civil rights in Europe.

The European Parliament has voted in favour of "chat control." The lapsed derogation that lets platforms scan private messages for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is back into force until 2028.

Parliament killed this same text 311 to 228 in March. Today it passed.

How it passed also matters, it was a democracy undermining move from The European People's Party (EPP), the largest group in Parliament, who revived the Council's text as a second-reading position, meaning it stood unless an absolute majority of all MEPs, at least 361, voted to reject or amend it.

[Chubby♨️ @kimmonismus]

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.

The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.

What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.

That is the democratic scandal.

When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.

And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.

This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.

A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.

Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.

This is a dark day for Europe.

Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.

Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.

Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

Chat Control trilogue negotiations to start 9 December – the EU Commission continues to spread misinformation about the Chat Control proposal.

Today, EU Commissioner Magnus Brunner visited the European Parliament and announced that the trilogue negotiations on Chat Control will begin next week, on 9 December, with the ambition of being completed before April 2026.

During the questions from the MEPs, it was obvious that Magnus Brunner is following in the exact footsteps of former Commissioner Ylva Johansson. He stated that he is not satisfied with the Council’s compromise proposal; in his view, the scanning does not go far enough.

During the questions from the MEPs, Brunner continued to spread the Commission’s Chat Control misinformation.

Markéta Gregorová, from the Czech Pirate Party, compared the Commission’s proposal to the police opening all envelopes in the physical world and asked Brunner a direct question: “Since both the Parliament and the Council have decided to question your approach (no mandatory scanning), will you play an honest broker in the negotiations in the upcoming trilogues or will you be pushing for more scanning?”

Magnus Brunner:
“I think our scanning suggestion was quite … we were suggesting a targeted scanning. I don’t quite understand … is that really what you are saying, that you want to compare protecting our children to privacy of opening up envelopes?”

Markéta Gregorová: “That’s what’s in your proposal.”

Magnus Brunner:
“First of all, we must protect our children from this harm, to be honest, there are criminals, I think we have to do everything to protect them, I don’t quite understand why you sort of always balance … in this case I’m really clear, our first of all priority is to protect our children from this abuse. We don’t have to agree on everything. Me as a father … it’s incredible, what’s happening in this world. It’s not about Chat Control, it’s a complete misunderstanding, no it’s not about Chat Control it’s about protecting our children and it’s about fighting against pedophiles, that’s what it’s about. That’s my approach, it’s not about open envelopes or Chat Control.”

Magnus Brunner follows the Commission’s tradition of just answering “what about the children” on every question, and continues to spread the misinformation that Chat Control is targeted scanning.

Birgit Sippel, from the Social Democratic Party of Germany, also asked for figures never mentioned in the discussion:
“There’s one figure I didn’t hear, and that’s just how many children have been saved from these situations of abuse, because of digital investigations, how many have been protected from these cases of abuse? I haven’t found any figures on that."

Magnus Brunner: “On identified victims, I don’t have any specific figures.”

Since Chat Control has been up for discussion for almost four years now, it would be remarkable if Magnus Brunner did not understand what his own commission is proposing. Therefore, the only plausible explanation is that he is consciously following in Ylva Johansson’s footsteps, striving to mislead the EU population. It seems certain that he, in the event of a “failed” Chat Control negotiation, will continue working toward mandatory mass surveillance through the ProtectEU initiative. We remind once again of the corrupt origins of Chat Control and what truly lies behind the legislative proposal: https://t.co/bJzNgmZunh

The European Commission will not be an honest party when they lead the negotiations next week. We can only hope that the Parliament stands firm. Javier Zarzalejos, who is the chairman of LIBE (Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs) in the Parliament, was straightforward on the Parliament’s position: ”The proposition from the Commission was very problematic in some areas. All political groups finally supported report of the Parliament and we will to the trilogues with such strong mandate of the Parliament.”
