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:

- To describe any private images (in a 10+ year old account I barely used)
- Last login location (was I on VPN?)

I made a real effort to answer, but they replied passive-aggressively, acting like I was the one being difficult!

Left me no choice but to file an ICO complaint. What is this nonsense? Anyone else stuck?

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.

But the moment they want my credit card? Suddenly, VPNs, ad-blockers, and tracking protection are my birthright. Want to use Netscape for nostalgia? Sure, why not. It's almost as if security concerns disappear when they want my money.

@melroy Firefox released an update. That was fast.

If you're using Firefox and ChatGPT suddenly stops working, it's likely due to the Firefox 147.0 update released recently.

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.
