@Tutanota I'm happy and incredibly disappointed that it hadn't passed by just ONE.
This is frightening that it has so much support.

@Tutanota This is great! Question, where are you getting the picture from? I'm checking the EU website and the difference seems to be quite bigger that 1 MP (lucky us) https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/A-10-2026-0040_EN.html#_section4
@Laurielle Yes, there were two votes, sorry we got that mixed up when posting. Please check here for a detailed explanation of what happened:

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota/116295357295296383
One vote. By ONE FUCKING VOTE.
(Now, I don't know if the vote was a "yes for chat control" and it needed more than a simple majority to pass, or if it was a "no for chat control" and the yes votes just scraped by. Those are very different things. But still.)

@Laurielle AM34 passed with 307 votes and the final text only got 228. The 80 votes lost (mostly among Greens, Left, Renew) were presumably people who voted for the amendment not because they liked it but because they knew EPP wouldn't like it. 157 MEPs in the EPP voted against the amendment and 137 ended up voting against the final text once it passed.
@nemobis Thanks!

@Tutanota And as we all know, corporations never do profitable things if they're illegal.

@Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU it’s good but i don’t know why people that represents my country in 70% has voted to push it. I hate polish goverment
@invisibleghost777 @Tutanota @HowTheyVoteEU what can I say? Amongst the Italian MEPs, the only ones who voted against it were the communists and the Lega, which is a party literally founded on racism as an ideology. WTF!
ALL the members of the Democratic Party voted in favour. I repeat myself, WTAF!!!
