What about GDPR potential violation?
- adrianN 5y agoGDPR has exceptions for fraud detection.
- Nextgrid 5y agoA bot does not immediately imply fraud. If you're processing personal data to detect bots to prevent let's say card fraud, fair enough. If you're processing personal data to detect bots for analytics purposes, this might not fly. Of course, this assumes someone actually gives a shit about enforcing the GDPR, which is currently not the case.
- adrianN 5y agoI have literally worked on bot detection and the high powered company lawyers told me that it's okay for my code to collect and analyze PII for these purposes because GDPR has these exceptions. I'm not a lawyer myself though, so that might have been wrong.
