Grasp all, lose all. Yesterday, there was a trilogue on the extension of Chat Control 1.0 from April 3, 2026, to August 2, 2027. Since the European Parliament had ruled out voluntary indiscriminate scanning while the Council wanted to keep it, the agreement fell through, completely canceling Chat Control 1.0.

Good news but we shouldn’t relax yet. The mfs who introduced it will likely try finding yet another backdoor to get this trough.

Yeah, for now. The EU will continue to push this, as it has the past 5 or 6 times.
“Put it up to a vote repeatedly until it passes, out of voter exhaustion”. You know… The *democratic* way.
God, how I miss what the EU used to stand for…

Please, guys , when you post this, be specific: This is about the temporary Chat Control 1.0 we have now and it expires in April and the EU wants to extend it to August next year. The permanent Chat Control 2.0 is still on the table.

I dread what comes next, that which is not “voluntary”. Seriously, when did a design by committee, a governmental one at that, had a good outcome?

The groups behind this should have their funding investigated and shut out of political lobbying all together.
Otherwise the nightmare never ends.

Yes, it’s good news. No, it doesn’t mean it’s over. And it doesn’t mean EU = bad or EU = good either.
It means we will need to care and participate and defend our values. Now, in 10, or 100 years in the future.
Maybe it’s just because I’m 40 years old, but I don’t get why everyone needs to be so fatalistic (great victory x it will be voted for anyway what’s the point).
We won today, be happy. Fight tomorrow.

To seek some long term solution… how about… ughmm… u know… the education?
Teach, that family name, adres, school, town is a vulnerable info. Then to not provide any vulnerable infos to the internet.
Oh that would be expensive to the govs, instead internet providers and programers… meeeeh
