      Roughly translated the meaningful part:

      > The European Parliament has therefore adopted a position at the end of 2023 that strikes a better balance and is still fair. It stipulates that end-to-end encryption remains untouched and that mass scanning of messages is thus effectively ruled out. Furthermore, interception measures are only permitted on the basis of a court order and in cases of justified suspicion. This reflects what is common and established practice in the “analog world.” I consider this to be a reasonable and balanced approach.

      > To put it briefly, I consider the proposals of the Danish Council Presidency too far reaching and consider the Parliament’s position to be better. I would not agree to a general “Chat Control.”

      Dear [redacted],

      Thank you very much for your message regarding the current state of negotiations on the regulation for the prevention and combating of child sexual abuse on the internet.

      First of all, let me assure you that we in Europe must decisively oppose sexual abuse of children. These crimes are absolutely abhorrent and deserve consistent criminal prosecution. Investigators need the necessary powers and appropriate tools to track down the perpetrators and protect the victims.

      The crucial question is how to make this most effective, and which proportionate means can best achieve this goal. The original proposal by the European Commission did not pass the Council of Ministers in this form, as it also raised legal concerns. At the same time, the compromise proposal currently under discussion by the Council of Ministers is also being debated by Member States.

      This touches on very sensitive areas of freedom. At the same time, however, we must ensure that fundamental rights on the internet are not undermined – precisely because we are pursuing a good cause here.

      The European Parliament already decided in 2022 to allow a better balance between freedom and security, and I still stand by that decision. This means, among other things, that an endless retention of massive amounts of data without cause should not be allowed. Instead, proportionality must apply, also with regard to legal remedies and the burden of proof. General “chat control” is the wrong way to go and bad practice. That is why I am committed to preventing disproportionate approaches.

      To put it briefly: I think the proposal of the Council of Ministers is too far-reaching and therefore consider the Parliament’s position to be far better. I cannot agree to general “chat control”.

      With kind regards,

      Markus Ferber, MEP

      > I will not support any general ‘chat control’.

      We’ll remember that promise and hopefully German voters will make sure he sticks to it

      I’m suprised to hear something reasonable from a CSU politican.

    5. tldr: disabling end-to-end encryption enabling mass scans is going to far and he is againt it. He much preferes germanies local proposal, which isn’t named.

      So he’s against it but won’t say what his vote is?

      Hmph.

    7. i emailed all our dutch MEP’s and only got a response from 2 of the parties, D66 and Volt. While i’m glad they actually took the time to read my e-mail AND respond. im a bitdisappointed in the other MEP’s / Parties that didn’t even bother to send a reply, despite they’re being against the issue.
