The EU Parliament has voted against (full) Chat Control

The amendment 34 (by Markéta Gregorová, Greens/EFA) to the Sippel Report A10-0040/2026 significantly restricts the ePrivacy derogation (chat control extension until 2027).

It replaces Art. 3 para. 1 lit. a of Regulation (EU) 2021/1232: Processing (scanning) may only be - strictly necessary for technologies to detect/remove known CSAM material (hashes, no unknown content), - proportionate, - limited to necessary technologies and content data.
