#eu #censorship #surveillance 🚨 #CHATCONTROL FAILS AGAIN 🚨

🟢 AGAINST (9):
🇦🇹 Austria · 🇧🇪 Belgium · 🇨🇿 Czechia · 🇫🇮 Finland · 🇩🇪 Germany · 🇱🇺 Luxembourg · 🇳🇱 Netherlands · 🇵🇱 Poland · 🇸🇰 Slovakia

🔴 IN FAVOR (14):
🇧🇬 Bulgaria · 🇭🇷 Croatia · 🇨🇾 Cyprus · 🇩🇰 Denmark · 🇫🇷 France · 🇭🇺 Hungary · 🇮🇪 Ireland · 🇮🇹 Italy · 🇱🇻 Latvia · 🇱🇹 Lithuania · 🇲🇹 Malta · 🇵🇹 Portugal · 🇪🇸 Spain · 🇸🇪 Sweden

🟡 UNDECIDED (4):

👉 The proposal reintroduced by 🇩🇰 Denmark under its EU presidency (July 2025) has failed for the third time

💥 With Germany and Luxembourg joining the opposition, a blocking minority was formed (at least 4 States + 35% of EU population)
📌 Result: no agreement, no vote in October.
Even if Denmark tries again, Europe has once more resisted this absurdity

🔥 THANK YOU to everyone who refuses to give up and keeps fighting for our privacy against this madness called #ChatControl

💪 Thank you for standing up to a project that aims to spy, censor, and treat us all as suspects by default.

🔐 Privacy is NOT negotiable. Privacy is freedom

👉 To all the organizations, companies, and people who raised their voice: we stand together in this fight
