Good news about the EU Parliament's decision against chat control and mass surveillance. It's a major win for online privacy and shows the impact of collective efforts and democratic power. Yet, the journey isn't over, as the EU Council's stance is still pending. This reminds us of the importance of continued advocacy for digital privacy and freedom, and to stay active in future discussions.
