Chat Control 1.0 is extended. Via undemocratic procedural tricks plotted by the EPP Group (npub1ksr…qktz), the national government, and most probably also the European Commission (npub1m96…ag4y). The question is: What’s next?

Chat Control 1.0 passed despite a majority voting against it (314:276), ushering in suspicionless mass scanning of your private communications until 2028. Regrettably, Roberta Metsola's brazen and undemocratic actions jeopardise the legitimacy of the EU.
The battle against Chat Control 2.0 begins!
