I think he is referencing that sites collect data even if you aren't a user. In that case, you could use the GDPR to get that data. That scenario makes no sense

- that_guy_iain 5y agoGithub still collects data for marketing purposes. And other people can push your commits which are your personal data without your knowledge.
- afiori 5y agoThis should be covered by most FOSS/OSS licenses.
- that_guy_iain 5y agoWhat do OSS licenses have to do with the data GitHub collects when you visit sites belong to it?
- afiori 5y agoThis is not about what github collect about its own usage, it was about other people mirroring your commits on github and the fact that those commits contains PIIs. It is reasonable to assume that FOSS licenses also cover the commit. IMHO at this point the transaction is more comparable to you selling your personal diary on ebay, you have no right to force the buyer to destroy it under the GDPR
