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.

Glad to see so many against, horrible to see that many for, let's not let this get passed.

[-] Jackhammer_Joe@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

SPD ab jetzt noch unwählbarer. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das geht.

[-] a4ng3l@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 5 points 15 hours ago

The Italian left voted in favour (what a huge disappointment). FI voted against and it's a right wing party.

[-] Kita@feddit.it 2 points 14 hours ago

Honestly who surprised me more is Cecilia Strada voting in favour.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah me too. Huge disappointment. I wonder if her father is spinning in his grave.

[-] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 13 hours ago

Write to her if you wish to change your mind.

[-] Lucky73@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

All of those Spanish votes against it are from the right

[-] srestegosaurio@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

I mean, not all of them, but yeah, big looser energy from the one in the PSOE who voted in favour lmao.

[-] waigl@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago

I will never vote for SPD again. Bunch of rotten traitors.

[-] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 day ago

On toward Die Linke and Grünen!

Unironically they'd be a better choice than AfD or Union, but that's a bar so low you could hardly walk under it.

[-] Blemgo@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago

Alternatively also VOLT, perhaps? It doesn't hurt to fight for a more unified EU.

[-] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

I will never vote for neolibs again even with a european paint job.

[-] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Volt feels a bit too centrist, semi-neoliberal. But if it gets people away from Union, why not.

[-] ibot@feddit.org 5 points 22 hours ago

Wer hat uns verraten?

Just like UK Labour then. These so-called social-democratic parties will sell out the very people they're theoretically supposed to protect without a second thought. That's why they are crashing and burning across Europe and fascist parties are benefitting massively.

We need to take the fight to them with proper leftist politics.

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Man that’s a lot of political parties, have you guys ever tried just having one like us in the US? ~please help us~

[-] sem@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 day ago

That is interesting. Why in Germany and Austria far-right (AfD, CDU, OVP) are against but center-left / liberals (SPD, SPO) are in favor, while for example in France and Czech Republic it is opposite (RN in favor, EELV against; ANO in favor, KDU-CSL against)?

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 1 day ago

because civil liberties don't fit neatly into a left-right spectrum, despite being a lot more important than the economic policies that the left-right spectrum aims to describe, which is why I think the left-right spectrum is mostly useless

[-] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago

Yess! Indeed interesting, maybe member of german and Austria far right parties use chat apps within scope and fear to get caught doing whatever they do 🤔

[-] LorIps@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Oida. Maybe Thomas Schmid trauma is keeping them in line xD

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Why in Germany and Austria far-right (AfD, CDU, OVP) are against

I guess a combination of contrarianism and the control not going far enough.

Probably more likely that they are against it as long as they can be targeted. They want to wait until they are in charge politically and can control it, and then they'll be behind it so they can target their perceived enemies.

Pretty much how it went here in the USA. All the shit the right wing used to scream and rail against is everything they're instituting now that they feel relatively sure they won't have to let go of the power in the future. Once they get their tentacles in, they'll turn on a dime and support it.

Glad to see most Germans are against.

[-] hatingfedizen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

My bad, I thought I had included the link to the original post when I uploaded the image

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

No Denmark anywhere?

I thought there were many Danish politician for.

[-] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 12 hours ago

I also see no Croatia at all.

[-] nanlux_user@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

The date says 2nd march 2025.

[-] schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago

Yes, and it also says LIBE, which is the committee, not plenary, where this was recently voted on. It's clearly not enough members for a plenary vote, this post is misinformation as titled.

[-] hatingfedizen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

Yes that was my confusion, that's also why not all countries are present in this vote. The original post is trying to raise attention because the vote for the Chat Control 2.0 is starting these days.

[-] angelmountain@lemy.nl 10 points 1 day ago

Still too many in favour

[-] awaysaway@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

why are there some member states not represented here?

[-] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago

López Aguilar es un cabrón. Tener que tirar del PP y de Comuns para tirar la propuesta....

Translation from Spanish: López Aguilar is a S.O.B. Having to resort to PP and Comuns to take down the proposal...

[-] Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Nunca pensaba que estaría de acuerdo con alguien de PP
