It's the EPP that keep pushing for it.. if you want to ensure that they don't make another push, best to make sure that you don't vote for them in the future. If you're not sure who the EPP parties and partners are in your country, here's a list:

This week, the European Parliament faces a decisive vote on whether the indiscriminate scanning of private chats and emails by US tech companies (Chat Control 1.0) will be allowed to continue.
This is the first sentence from the page you posted. The scanning is already legal. It was approved in 2021. They are voting on an extension now. The wording of the post makes is sound like this will let companies do something new.
How common/uncommon are such repeat votes? I'm not so familiar with all the ins and outs of EU voting. Has a repeat vote never happened before and is it therefore unprecedented? Or is unprecedented just being used as a buzz word here?
Regardless, glad the parliament voted again not to extend.

It has been rejected again. By just one vote.

The one vote was just an amendment, the actual extension was rejected by a clear majority.

When do people realize that fascism always finds a way? That there is no such thing as non-abusable power?

This was actually already legal for the last couple of years.

I can't even tell if you're talking about the US or not, I know for a fact that the US is infamous for being pro censorship
