@eddmondp@MarioNawfal@Enzoknol You do realize the Tesla did everything correctly?
It was the other car coming from left that "blasts straight through a red light"
🚨🇪🇺 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!
Here's a spicy AI take for you. Since these models are all in rather plaintext in memory, anyone with access to a single GPU can yoink a copy for themselves. All the tooling around the model isn't as interesting. Thus, the same way DVD rips became democratized, so too may any actually useful intelligence, because it's just sitting there in memory in one of many data centers.
A lesson in cryfagging. Can you imagine how cool it would be if HEX, or PulseChain, were listed on the homepage of Ethereum's homepage? It'd be cool, but they're not. So let's look at https://t.co/HrzalaVTLw and click the 2nd link in the menu. "Links" And look at the 2nd front end link. HEXscout it says. So you'd think that would be cool right? Nope, that website says it's not enough.
Over and over again people come, and people go, all kinds of stats sites came and went, wallets came and went, every one with their own particular kind of cryfagging. But you know what never went anywhere at all. Me.
Over and over again I've learned that when you bleed awareness to others, it's only a matter of time till they peace out, and usually with some max extraction and some insults. So over the years, you just have to keep publishing that you must have no expectations over others, and you must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Anyway, drama aside, anyone can do anything but like, if you've been featured as the #2 front end on a core website forever, really there's no space to be insulting on the way out lol.
