Chat Control is being pushed by national governments, either directly or through the meeting of their leaders, the Council. EU institutions are the ones continuously keeping it at bay.

If something like this passes in the EU, we have no way to fight it (international treaties are not subjects to referendum). The influence in EU parliament is delegated on so many levels that it's impossible to transparently see what your vote influences.

It's only the national governments that are pushing for it. https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-control-twist-commissioner-sides-with-parliament-over-governments-boost-for-european-parlaments-strong-mandate/ https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-chat-control-twist-commi...
