This isn't necessarily true: the Identity and Democracy faction is explicitly pro-privacy, digital rights and against Chat Control.

The ID group is opposed to EU-wide surveillance measures, and promises to protecting individual privacy and national sovereignty.

FYI, 84% of ID has voted pro chat-control in 2021.

I stand corrected. Guess all that posturing about privacy was all empty election promises then.

Seems like only the Greens, the left and within ID the AFD voted against.
