First, facebook can stil datamine that photo even if it's not public. Second, if it were private, gradma would still be sharing it with people outside the control of the parents (what if gradma was dating a pedophile?). Third, gradma could've easily changed them to public any time.

> First, facebook can stil datamine that photo even if it's not public. This is not relevant to the article, why can't we just talk about the article. There are plenty of other articles on HN about privacy within applications. The court specifically mentioned the 'general public' "The court acknowledged that "it cannot be excluded" that placing a picture on a Facebook or Pinterest page might be exempted from GDPR scrutiny on the basis of this provision, but held that it had not been established that A's pages were inaccessible to the general public." When you publish on Twitter or Facebook publicly you are no different to a newspaper, you are publishing to the public record. The BBC clearly doesn't get this, which I assume means a lot of the general public doesn't either with such lousy media.
