They are currently voting on amends to the regulation. The "Chat Control" proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.

This is more about consistency than anything else.

EU-politicians have promised not to extend Chat Control 1.0 and SPD are the only ones happy to break their promise. The right has Chat Control 2.0 waiting in the wings so the vote to not extend doesn't hurt their surveillance plans.
