- geofft 8y agoThanks. Interesting that some folks in the comments say "actually, this site was abusing your data to make money" - but I don't have a good sense of whether a similar site that didn't use Amazon ads, and either took a small membership fee or was run out of the founder's pocket as a side project, would have things to worry about from GDPR. On the flip side, does anyone know of side projects or community projects that have said "We chatted with a European lawyer, who said we don't have anything to worry about, and we'll keep doing our thing"? I know Debian is having that chat (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/04/msg00012.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/04/msg00... - and there are some privacy things I think Debian should change, like not keeping people's support emails from years ago public) but I'm curious about projects that are smaller in scope and are basically not trying to hold personal data at all.
