EU Parliament Vote On Chat Control

[MΛRC VIDΛL @marcvidal]

It's disheartening. That millions of people have no idea what's being approved in Brussels today.

It's stunning. That it's the European People's Party pushing it through.

It's infuriating. That they're doing it by twisting parliamentary rules.

It's insulting. That they hide behind children to justify it.

It's outrageous. That tomorrow's absences will count as votes in favor. That anyone who skips the trip to Strasbourg is, without knowing it, voting yes.

It's cynical. That they picked the last session day before summer recess, when half the chamber has already packed its bags.

It's serious. That blocking the text requires an absolute majority of 361 votes, while pushing it through just takes an empty room.

It's telling. That when a Parliament loses a vote, the answer isn't to accept it, but to change the rules until it wins.

It's troubling. That end-to-end encryption, the last real frontier of privacy, now hinges on a calendar trick.

It's paradoxical. That child protection is the justification, while child-safety organizations themselves are asking for the legal gaps to be fixed first, not for the extension to pass as is.

It's telling, again. That the European Data Protection Supervisor himself warns that any renewal must avoid general, indiscriminate scanning, and that warning changes nothing.

It's opportunistic. That the text on the table today is the exact same one Parliament rejected months ago, not a comma changed, just dressed in different procedure.

It's a bridge. That this temporary extension, the 1.0 version, is precisely the vehicle keeping alive the debate over the permanent Chat Control 2.0, the one that would make scanning mandatory.

It's alarming. That the exception is no longer framed until tomorrow, but until 2028, two years of room to normalize what in March was called unacceptable.

It's reckless. That an urgent procedure meant for real emergencies is being used for the sole purpose of dodging the outcome of a previous vote.

And it is, above all, a warning. Of how easy it is to legislate over the privacy of 450 million people when you pick the right day for no one to be watching.

We keep going…

🇪🇺 The EU just passed Chat Control 1.0 in Brussels.

Platforms can now scan your private messages again, officially "voluntary," in practice blanket surveillance.

Here's the democratic scandal: 314 MEPs voted against it. Only 276 voted for it.

It passed anyway... because an absolute majority of all MEPs was required to reject it, not just a majority of those present.

More people voted no than yes. It still passed.

Pushed through on an urgent procedure just before summer recess, when absences are highest and attention is lowest.

This is how rights disappear folks. Not in one dramatic moment, but in procedural fine print, on a slow news day, while everyone's looking at Tehran.

🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔

They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant

The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you:

They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through

There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want

Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔

@vonderleyen Napoleon speaks ... an entire continent enslaved to the whims of an unelected bureaucrat who does as she's told by our overlords. What nonsense, masquerading as a retail champion when all you're actually doing is exercising the protectionism you criticise others for.

[Alius @alius2025]

@vonderleyen The EU is officially putting an end to the free market.
I feel like EU is going to eventually collapse and disband one day.

[Claudio Sperindio @ClaSperindio]

So do you believe that adding 3 euro to every parcel will resolve the compliance issue with EU safety standards? Everything you guys touch is getting more expensive, creating issues to Europeans and barriers to the free market. This EU must fail and sooner or later will fail, leaving us Europeans like the new Africans of the world.

@vonderleyen You politicians are regulating the EU into oblivion... how about tackling real problems, Señora????

@Southcom @USNavy @StateDept While you are at it, please have your SOF perform a snatch-and-grab op on Diosdado Cabello. As long as he's around he'll keep undermining the relief efforts.

¿Frustrados? ¿Quiénes? ¿Y por qué?

¿Aceptarían ellos el veto de una dictadura para volver a su país?

¿Mientras sus compatriotas agonizan bajo los escombros?

@MariaCorinaYA tiene derecho a regresar a Venezuela.

Es su sitio. Hoy más que nunca.

Para acompañar a su pueblo.

Para honrar a sus muertos.

Y @POTUS y @SecRubio tienen la responsabilidad urgente de garantizarlo.

[Enrique Vaamonde @_ejvm]

We Venezuelans are frustrated with these Senior US officials that insist on keeping Delcy Rodriguez, her sycophant brother, and the criminal Diosdado Cabello in power. This is a HUGE mistake @SecRubio

Hay terremotos que terminan con tiranías…

[Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo @cayetanaAT]

¿Cómo van a reconstruir Venezuela los mismos que la saquearon?

¿Cómo van a salvar vidas venezolanas los mismos que las segaron? ¿Los que torturaron, reprimieron y asesinaron?

Delcy Rodríguez.
Jorge Rodríguez.
Diosdado Cabello.
Vladimir Padrino.

El terremoto más letal fueron ellos.
