Their malware protection is on by default (can be turned off or dialed up to include porn but obviously there are hundreds of thousands of customers on default settings), and it's a "selling point" so the best course of action is probably to make a ruckus about false positives while keeping it on so that I can spot any others. Too bad that most client software (browsers, apps) doesn't show details of why content (such as a Lemmy post image) failed to load – the apparent error for O₂ Security intervention is "net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" because they're doing MitM for HTTPS to show their "Access denied" page – so it seems like a server is just down until I put the URL of the resource into the address bar.
