This time. They'll keep trying, like all the times before.

Edit:

However, the issue is not yet off the table. Despite the failure in committee, the European Parliament's plenary session is expected to address the dossier as early as next week. The LIBE decision is considered an official recommendation for the plenary, but further surprises cannot be ruled out in the charged debate. Proponents of chat control in the Commission and the Council of Ministers, who are seeking an extension of the powers until April 2028, will try to close ranks in the plenary. However, should the failure be confirmed there, voluntary chat control would face a swift end.

voluntary chat control

Talk about a fucking misnomer! That's like calling house arrest "voluntary location management" 🙄

I like the expression "voluntold".
