A-ha! So there’s a bit of both client issues and user error. My client crops the preview image of the site. And when I clicked the link to the mastodon post, I didn’t pay attention to the image because I had already seen it in the client.

Still, this being a general privacy group, it would be good if OP didn’t assume the reader was familiar with current EU politics. A small paragraph would be enough to contextualize the post.
