Are there any lawyers here who can tell us if this is actually a GDPR violation?
Most of the discussion here is about why people don't like the new Chrome feature -- but is it actually in violation of the GDPR?
- lurker456 8y agoIt may be a GDPR violation (insufficient consent), we'll need a ruling to be certain. It may also be an antitrust violation (chrome is close to 60% market share in the EU).
- gnud 8y agoAs long as they don't really gather any data without an additional consent, I can't see how it could be. IANAL, of course. But, if I was responsible for GDPR in Chrome I would be very worried that they are conflating "signed in" and "syncing" some places in the code, since this appearently used to be the same concept, per the old privacy policy.
