Chat Control Plenary vote Results


cross-posted from: lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/64875667

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.

I will never vote for SPD again. Bunch of rotten traitors.
in reply to waigl

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.

SPD bein traitorous

A trait as old as time

From Rosa Luxembourg to today

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)?
in reply to Sem

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 🤔
in reply to Petter1

but politicians would have always been exempted from chat control

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

in reply to Quacksalber

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.

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.

in reply to Sem

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

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...

in reply to nanlux_user

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.
in reply to schnurrito

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.

in reply to hatingfedizen

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

No surprise seeing the right voting for that shit. Tells me all I need to know about the actual motives….
in reply to a4ng3l

All of those Spanish votes against it are from the right
in reply to Lucky73

I mean, not all of them, but yeah, big looser energy from the one in the PSOE who voted in favour lmao.
in reply to a4ng3l

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

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

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

SPD ab jetzt noch unwählbarer. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass das geht.
in reply to Jackhammer_Joe

Bin auch überrascht CDU und AfD auf der richtigen Seite des Grabens zu sehen. Ob das ein versehen war?
in reply to hatingfedizen

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