Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats
In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
IMGUR blocks UK users then smugly directs you to their GDPR form rigged with impossible demands!
After they VERIFIED MY EMAIL, demanded:

The second I use a VPN, half the internet acts like I'm a hacker. Logins fail, I can't see cat memes on Reddit, and to update my email Twitter makes me swear not to clear their cookies for a week. And heaven forbid I use anything but Chrome.

As a temporary fix, you can disable the built‑in dictionary service by setting "network.http.dictionaries.enable = false" in "about:config". This change is generally considered safe, but you may want to revert it after the issue is resolved.
