tl;dr: The European Parliament voted 331-304 to fast-track legislation reviving the EU's expired "Chat Control 1.0" regulation, which allowed platforms like Gmail and Messenger to voluntarily scan private communications for CSAM. A binding vote is scheduled for July 9, where opponents need an absolute majority of 361 MEPs to block it. This is separate from the stalled "Chat Control 2.0" permanent regulation, and notably the Council's own Legal Service has warned that even voluntary generalized scanning may violate Article 7 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
