RE Chat Control 2 (ie _not_ this, the proposed permanent version):

> In early October 2025, in the face of concerted public opposition, the German government stated that it would vote against the proposal

German MEPs also voted against this one.

(Note that the German government and German MEPs aren't the same thing here.)
