The last version of chat control was pushed by Denmark, which presided the european council until december, and with a social democratic prime minister (coalition government with social democrats the majority). The "conservatives push for chat control" is not really accurate, a bit part of social democrats are also supporting it.
That is true, but this attempt is led by the Conservatives. Not more, not less.
Many people here seem to have great difficulty with reading comprehension
And many people here clearly have memory of a goldfish. Chat control (in its different phases) has been brought up and promoted by both conservative\liberal and social democratic factions of the EU parliament. The fact that this time it was EPP that put forward the vote does not mean that just conservatives are the ones pushing for chat control. This is all a fantasy.
Politics is about understanding things in a historical context, not about the last flashy headline and 2-line tweets.
