> A gentle reminder that this week we're voting in EU election so it's a great time to check who supports Chat Control and to vote accordingly.

Any idea where we can find that information (those who proposed and voted on it)?

In Sweden we have this: https://chatcontrol.se/status/

Hopefully other EU countries has similar sites. If you have a local Pirate Party, that might be a good place to start. I'm guessing they would link such a site.

The first proposal got rejected on the commitee stage, see https://edri.org/our-work/eu-parliament-committee-rejects-ma... and https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20231110IP...

The might be a list of votes there somewhere.

You can see who voted for "Amending Interim Regulation on a temporary derogation from certain provisions of the ePrivacy Directive" at https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=167712, which from what I understand is about extending the duration an earlier version of chat control (1.0) [1] where the scanning is only done by tech companies on platforms such as Xbox and Facebook Messenger [2]. So not quite what is being talked about in the article in this post but definitely related.

It’s not, as I understand it, something that the European Parliament has even debated yet. Nobody in the Parliament has proposed or voted on it, unless I have misunderstood.

This measure is still being developed by the European Council, which is a non-legislative body.

It would have to be submitted to and taken up by the Parliament for the information you want to exist in a meaningful form.

Parliament is not keen:
