I am the creator of Fight Chat Control.

Thank you for sharing. It is unfortunately, once again, needed.

The recent events have been rather dumbfounding. On March 11, the Parliament surprisingly voted to replace blanket mass surveillance with targeted monitoring of suspects following judicial involvement [0]. As Council refused to compromise, the trilogue negotiations were set to fail, thus allowing the Commission's current indiscriminate "Chat Control 1.0" to lapse [1]. This would have been the ideal outcome.

In an unprecedented move, the EPP is attempting to force a repeat vote tomorrow to overturn the March 11 decision, seeking to overturn the otherwise principled decision and instead favouring indiscriminate mass-scanning [1, 2]. In an attempt to avoid this, the Greens earlier today tried to remove the vote from the agenda tomorrow, but this was voted down [3].

As such, tomorrow, the Parliament will once again vote on Chat Control. And unlike March 11, multiple groups are split on the vote, including S&D and Renew. The EPP remains unified in its support for Chat Control. If you are a European citizen, I urge you to contact your MEPs by e-mail and, if you have time, by calling. We really are in the final stretch here and every action counts. I have just updated the website to reflect the votes today, allowing a more targeted approach.

Happy to answer any questions.
