Where can I see who voted for and against? I want to know if I need to change who I vote for next EU election.

I think that Patrick posted it. basically the ones against where the conservatives, both left and right where against (even if there were some people inside those parities who voted to continue the scanning)

EDIT: apparently EPP voted against not because they want to support privacy but because the proposal was not enough invasive. they were afraid that it would have stopped their Chat control 2.0 proposal.

For those of us out of the loop, who is Patrick?

[–] kapulsa@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably Patrick Breyer, who often posts about privacy issues in the EU parliament.

What?
I see conservatives+ extreme right pro. Also some fake left

Against greens -real left.

(Not absolute since they vote individually)

But by faction:

pro: EPP,ECR, ID/Patriots

Against: EFA, The Left, Renew Europe, S&D(divided)

Undecided: S&D, Renew Europe
