MEPs have already spoken on this. They should not be forced to vote again under a rushed procedure to get a different answer. This move raises political and democratic concerns, adding to the already well-documented legal, technical, privacy and security risks the proposal entails.

The fight against #CSAM is vital, but it cannot justify undermining privacy, security, freedom of expression, or the democratic mandate of the Parliament. We urge MEPs to uphold the March decision and reject both the urgency request and the text it would fast-track.
