It’s a form of purity spiral where the consensus on acceptable behaviour becomes narrower and narrower as peope try to out-compete each other on who is the most virtuous, or in this case who is the most careful about nonexistent GDPR risks.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> or in this case who is the most careful about nonexistent GDPR risks. Parent comment is convinced the site is doing something that would be illegal. You are convinced that the site’s GDPR risk is non-existence. It’s amazing how many people sitting on the sidelines can be so confident about GDPR while having entirely opposite opinions. But my point stands: This stuff is complicated and requires sign-off from the lawyers in any large institution. If you don’t have a reason or budget to go through that process, you don’t do it. It’s not virtue signaling or anything silly like that. It’s basic corporate legal protections.
- gorgoiler 5y agoWith respect, your assertion that these 451s serve a useful purpose does not match up with my experience of seeing them in the wild. In fact this is the first one I’ve seen that isn’t being done as a protest.
