Isn't that exactly what you said a couple months ago?
At this point it's pretty concerning that you still have nothing to say publicly except "we're working on it", no detail, no schedule, no nothing.
- kevingadd 8y agoWell, considering there are apparently only two people working on Instapaper, it's not hard to come up with reasons why it might take more than two months or why they might not be conducting a detailed PR campaign about it
- corobo 8y agoShort of selling everyone's reading habits to the lowest bidder.. what on earth needs changing? Edit: To clarify I'm not saying they do that, I just can't see what part of GDPR they're having trouble with
- oh_sigh 8y agoPerhaps that's because you are not a part of the corporation. Why would you expect to have insight into their operations?
- corobo 8y agoI don’t expect that, I’m wondering out loud in the hopes someone may be able to shine a light on something I’ve not considered From my point of view they store a list of URLs and provide a way to nicely view the content of those URLs. What in that could be causing 2 months of downtime to fix?
- hk__2 8y agoWell, considering that GDPR has been voted two years ago and is based on 20-years-old EU privacy laws, even if it took 6 months or 2 years it still wouldn’t be a valid excuse. Also, giving a bit of detail or a minimal schedule is easier than a PR campaign. It’s called transparency, and it works even if you’re alone on a project.
- briandear 8y agoExcept "20-years-old EU privacy laws" didn't risk 4% of global revenue. It also didn't risk activist lawsuits. https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/25/17393766/facebook-google-gdpr-lawsuit-max-schrems-europe https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/25/17393766/facebook-google-... Funny thing how DailyMotion isn't getting sued, but YouTube's parent company is.
- icebraining 8y agoThere's nothing funny; nobody uses or cares about DailyMotion. Also, nobody got sued, ignorant reporters notwithstanding. Schrems only filed complaints with the regulators.
- hk__2 8y ago> Except "20-years-old EU privacy laws" didn't risk 4% of global revenue. It also didn't risk activist lawsuits. That’s the point. When there’s no risk, nobody cares about their users’ privacy. That’s not an excuse for shutting down now that it’s legally risky to disrespect your users.
