Chat Control 1.0 vs 2.0
- The European Parliament has approved an urgent procedure to fast-track legislation that would revive the EU's expired “Chat Control 1.0” rules.
- This development sets up a decisive vote on July 9 over whether online platforms may once again be allowed to voluntarily scan private user communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- MEPs voted 331 in favor and 304 against using the urgency procedure, allowing Parliament to bypass the usual committee stage.
