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
Online purchases
Financial distress
Legal trouble
Addictions
etc. etc
Nothing to hide, no problem? What about your health records and what if insurance standards change in the future about cover rights? What about impersonation or undisclosed erroneous alterations or mistakes to your data?
And to whom may this become accessible as commercial or other unspecified uses given the the EU AI act removes nearly your GDPR rights and protections in favour of the large AI platforms who sell to the highest bidder.
Complacency is digital slavery and slavery enabling.
