tl;dr: The EU Parliament failed to block "Chat Control 1.0" — a motion to reject it got 314 votes to 276 but fell short of the required 361-vote absolute majority — allowing suspicionless scanning of private messages on platforms like Gmail, iCloud, Instagram, and Discord to continue until 2028. End-to-end encrypted services like WhatsApp remain exempt. Critics, including former MEP Patrick Breyer and abuse survivors, argue the scanning is ineffective (48% of alerts aren't criminally relevant per Germany's BKA) and removes pressure to negotiate a targeted permanent regulation ("Chat Control 2.0"), talks on which resume in September.
