Chat Control 1.0 passed despite a majority voting against it (314:276), ushering in suspicionless mass scanning of your private communications until 2028. Regrettably, Roberta Metsola's brazen and undemocratic actions jeopardise the legitimacy of the EU. The battle against Chat Control 2.0 begins!

Confused about Chat Control 1.0 (being voted on TOMORROW at 12:00!) and Chat Control 2.0?

See fightchatcontrol.eu/chat-control...

 There is not one proposed “Chat Control” law — there are two, and they are moving through the EU institutions in parallel. This is why the news can seem contradictory: one Chat Control was "stopped" in March 2026, yet another is still being negotiated, and the first is now being revived. This page untangles the two.

TOMORROW AT 12:00 is the final vote on Chat Control 1.0.

An absolute majority of 361 MEPs is needed to stop it!

This is the works of EP President Roberta Metsola who is forcing through the vote on Chat Control 1.0 despite the plenary already rejecting it.

🇪🇺 #Pirates MEP @marketkag.eurosky.social told EP President Metsola yesterday: "You did not abide by the rules and asked to revive #ChatControl after the plenary rejected it. This is a farce! Colleagues, stand your ground and vote Chat Control down again!" Source: youtube.com/watch?v=x_Cn...

As the 5th trilogue finished without agreement, Council and the European People's Party (EPP), with Germany's SDP and CDU being the driving forces, are attempting to bypass Parliament and reactivate the already expired #ChatControl 1.0.

No, believe it or not, means no!

🚨 🚨 🚨

Take action NOW: fightchatcontrol.eu

In an unprecedented move with a flagrant disregard for democracy and her own colleagues, European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is attempting to force through the twice-rejected "voluntary" mass scanning legislation.

In parallel, this Monday, the final trilogue on the permanent Chat Control 2.0 legislation begins: Council still wants to revoke your right to privacy and read your messages.

We are witnessing a two-front assault: Metsola overriding your MEPs, and Council pushing permanent mass scanning.

Take action: contact your MEPs now!

🚨 The Conservatives (EPP) are attempting to force a new vote on Thursday (26th), seeking to *reverse* Parliament's NO on indiscriminate scanning.

This is a direct attack on democracy and blatant disregard for your right to privacy. No means no.

What happened today?

Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. 

The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox.

What happens next?

The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in.

What now?

We raise our voices. Louder.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
