🚨🇪🇺 The European Commission is about to steal your search history in one of the largest forced data grabs in the history of the open internet, and almost nobody is talking about it.

The scope is staggering:
🔴 Every query you type
🔴 Every voice and photo search
🔴 Every autocomplete you accept
🔴 Your language, your device
🔴 Your country pinned to a ~3km² grid
🔴 Every result you saw, every link you hovered
🔴 Every click and scroll
🔴 The full chronological order of your search sessions

Meaning the European Union now knows your:
🔴 Health symptoms
🔴 Pregnancy
🔴 Sexual orientation
🔴 Political views
🔴 Religious beliefs
🔴 Financial distress
🔴 Legal trouble
🔴 Addictions
🔴 Affairs

Under the proposed measures for DMA Article 6(11), Google would be ordered to ship the daily search behaviour of hundreds of millions of Europeans to multiple third parties through a daily API feed. Any approved "online search engine," AI chatbots included, would get five years of access.

The things people only ever type when they think no one is watching. All of it now scheduled to flow daily into an open-ended list of third parties scattered across the European Union.

Brussels promises "anonymisation." The reality is a thin technical veneer that has been broken in academic literature again and again for over a decade. Search behaviour is a fingerprint. Stripping a name does not change that.

Mass data leaks become inevitable. Every new beneficiary is a new attack surface, and every annual audit is a year of silent exposure between checks. The 2025 Discord vendor breach already showed how fast 70,000 government IDs can leak through a single weak link. Now imagine that link holding Europe's search history.

Surveillance without consent becomes the default. Hundreds of millions of EU citizens never agreed to have their queries packaged and shipped to companies they have never heard of. The legal fiction of "anonymisation" cannot manufacture consent that was never given.

Behavioural search data is a goldmine for phishing, blackmail, social engineering, and corporate espionage.

Foreign intelligence services get a back door without effort. They do not need to breach Google. They only need to compromise the weakest name on the beneficiary list. One insolvent startup. One compromised contractor. One approved entity quietly acquired by a hostile state.

In the name of "competition," the EU is about to manufacture a permanent, distributed, daily-refreshed copy of Europe's collective search history. A surveillance dataset Brussels itself would never approve if any other government tried to build it.

The public consultation closes Friday, May 1, 2026 at 23:59 CEST. The final binding decision lands July 27, 2026.

After that, the door does not close again.

Tag your MEPs! File a response! Make noise!

who tf decided that friendships should have natural decay, am i the weird one for reconnecting with old friends like it hasn't been like 10 years?

[Calmcacil @Calmcacil]

I think the hardest part of growing older is the moments when you get lost in self reflection and run through all the things you could have handled better if you had the same information you have now... C'est la vie.

[Vite Ramen - Noodtrient Protein Ramen 🍜 @ViteRamen]

We’re writing about a problem encountered with @LeeandLie , @baovtuber , and @shxtou orders that were inherited from the previous company working on them. Please note that this does not affect any orders that were placed in 2024.

Since the beginning of this situation, we have been trying our best to assist with what we can. We know we haven’t been perfect with everything, as there were a lot more problems that were hidden beneath the surface that we had to untangle. Trying to work through disconnected systems that aren’t ours is extremely time consuming, and we could only do so much at once.

Still, at this point, we’ve been able to deal with the mass majority of problems, tracking them down little by little, one by one. It’s been a long and exhausting process.

But what we didn’t realize is that by taking over and helping with this process, every refund, every return, everything we were doing to help out was lowering our @Shopify Merchant Trust. By trying to do good, we were being penalized and punished.

As of the time of this writing, our payout accounts are frozen, including our main Vite Ramen Shopify, with about $60,000 held by Shopify for “safety”. These funds were to be held for 120 days, as were all other payouts from other stores we help manage, meaning funds that we’ve received from orders would not be in our bank account until November.

This is an extremely serious problem. Perhaps unsurprisingly, if we have to wait 120 days to receive money from an order, then we cannot function as a business.

This has not been communicated to us well at all, with @OnigiriEn_ Onimart somehow getting the email about it, when there has been only a total of 3 refunds TOTAL since Onimart began in 2022. We have not received any communication from Shopify otherwise about the other accounts affected, and the payouts are being held there as well. I’ve contacted @ShopifySupport many, many times, and have been told “it’s escalated and there’s nothing more we can do.”

Frustratingly, because of this, we are currently unable to provide refunds and additional support with old orders from the previous company. If we continue trying to help, then our account will presumably fall into further poor standing, with further penalties and problems levied on us. Even now, we’re struggling to figure out what we’re going to be doing with the payout holds and other restrictions.

We will be searching for other solutions and ways to help, but for the time being, we will be stuck. Shopify, if you’re seeing this, we would very much like to resolve the issue at hand. We’ve been very happy with Shopify as a platform thus far, but this situation is extremely upsetting, since we’re being punished and restricted for trying to do some good in the world.

I understand this is something that’s difficult to see with the systems that you have, and it’s an extremely unique and uncommon scenario. I’d like to request that we can be allowed to continue helping others without being penalized for it.

@Master_Zoen Don't worry, twitch has investigated their internal processes and found no wrong doing!

@Master_Zoen my option is not on the list.

[Calmcacil @Calmcacil]

@Master_Zoen best guess is the name changed due to you changing drivers, i believe e1i68x64 and e1rexpress are different versions of the NIC drivers, trying to render support on twitter is a pain, hit me up on discord if you need more help trying to troubleshoot.

[Calmcacil @Calmcacil]

@Master_Zoen Well, yeah of course the error you showed literally states that your computer lost connection to the network, so you wouldnt be able to access anything until it establishes a new link.

[Calmcacil @Calmcacil]

@Master_Zoen I can only speak to the specifics of the screenshot you shared, it indicates the machine lost *physical* connection to whatever network device it was plugged into. If the event viewer logs are unrelated to the issue at hand I cant speak to that
