Today, the European Parliament approved “Chat Control 1.0,” allowing chat surveillance in Brussels. This regulation lets platforms scan private messages, posing as voluntary but enabling extensive monitoring of communications. The measure passed despite opposition, with 314 MEPs voting against it and only 276 in favor. A simple majority wasn't enough; a higher absolute majority was needed. Previously rejected, it was reintroduced just before the summer break, raising concerns about privacy and judicial oversight in digital communication. 📰 @aipost
