Doesn’t Germany have specific data privacy laws based on the massive surveillance state that operated in the East up through 1990 or so? And you’re not concerned with using services that go through a country that, by all accounts, is trying to outdo the old Stasi with modern technology?
- consonaut 7y agoZoom claims to be GDPR compliant (https://zoom.us/de-de/gdpr.html https://zoom.us/de-de/gdpr.html). Frankly, ensuring a company claims compliance is as far as I can go. I'm still hoping that if a company intentionally lies about this they will get sued out of existence. If I'm wrong about this the GDPR is worthless anyway and there isn't really anything I can do.
