Eh? Nobody mentioned mailing lists except you. The guy who brought up GDPR was suggesting that the CC feature in itself might be a GDPR violation. You, on the other hand, are talking about a specific use of CC that people broadly agree is wrong, but presenting that as if it's the same thing as what the first guy said.
This is like somebody calling for a law that bans all cars, someone else calling that retarded, and you coming along and saying Why exactly is it retarded not to drive on the pavements? That's what roads are for!
- lexs 8y agoWell it clearly depends on how you use the CC feature, most of the complains about CC have been in regards to mailing lists as that's where obviously unwanted information leaks happen. "the CC feature in itself might be a GDPR violation" is a, to use your words, "retarded" idea. For starters you can still send emails internally, perfectly fine to use CC there. Also I'm sure there are some legitimate interest cases where CC instead of BCC makes sense too. This is classic GDPR fear mongering and laziness.
- XCabbage 8y ago> "the CC feature in itself might be a GDPR violation" is a, to use your words, "retarded" idea Well, yes, I agree. > This is classic GDPR fear mongering Well, no. The person who suggested that it's a violation is anti-email, not anti-GDPR; it's implicit that they think it would be a good thing if the CC feature were inherently illegal.
