On Thursday, the European Parliament votes on Chat Control 1 (the voluntary scanning, not the mandatory scanning, called Chat Control 2). Again.
The Parliament has already voted against Chat Control 1. Two times. But the Council of Ministers and the Parliament President refuse to accept it.
Now, the Council has demanded an urgent procedure. This is a procedure that is meant to be used for new legislative proposals, not proposals that the Parliament has already rejected. An urgent procedure requires an absolute majority to be rejected (361 out of the Parliament's 720 members). This will be difficult to reach, since those who abstain from voting are counted as a yes-vote in an urgent procedure. By scheduling the vote during the summer, they are making it even harder to reach those 361 no-votes. This is downright dirty tactic by the Council and the President of the European Parliament.
The President of the European Parliament has sided with the Council against her own chamber. For context, this is the EP President, Roberta Metsola:

LinkedIn seems to have auto enrolled folks in the US, but hearing from folks in the EU that they are not seeing this listed in their settings (likely due to privacy regulations).
If you're outside of the US, I'm curious if you're seeing this?
📱❗ Wyciekły wewnętrzne dokumenty z kontrolowanego przez Kreml centrum propagandy. Wiemy, jakie wsparcie planowała Rosja dla skrajnie prawicowych partii w wyborach do PE. Skoordynowana kampania rozsiewała dezinformację, aby osłabiać Ukrainę.

Hearing that AI models are collapsing because AI bros poisoned their own well by flooding the internet with loads of slop that’s being fed back into the training data with no way to sift it out. It fills me with such schafenfreude
