>First, the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) came for your newsletter (Mailchimp). Then, they came for your cloud storage provider (Cloudflare). And on Monday, the Hamburg DPA said using Zoom could be incompatible with the GDPR’s data transfer rules.
Alternate subtitle:
First, the your spam service (Mailchimp) stole your personal information. Then, your MitM-as-a-service (Cloudflare) stole your personal information. And now, the meeting service with flagrant disregard for privacy and security and several useful alternatives available (Zoom) stole your personal information. The EU told them all to knock it off.
- bserge 5y agoThe same EU that will be scanning all my texts soon (to protect the kids, of course). What a fucking joke.

- input_sh 5y agoIt's basically a pointless publicity stunt. The law in question provides a hole for private companies to allow them to scan for child molestation materials, allowing Apple and similar to do what they were intending on doing anyway. There was a pressure to pass something quickly for whatever reason (I'm sure has nothing to do with Silicon Valley lobbyists), it's "legally flawed" and it will crumble in front of the court. It's a performance for the sake of the performance. European MPs pretend that they're doing something about the problem without ever even beginning to address it, fully aware that courts will undo their "effort", at which point they'd be like "oh well, we did our part".

- FeepingCreature 5y agoJust cause upcoming laws are insane doesn't mean that the GDPR is.
