As far as I can see, the problem was the way a specific site was using analytics. I.e. it's possible to use anaytics in compliance with GDPR. Have I misread it?
[Edit] The website operator seems to have failed to scrub IP addresses from data uploaded to analytics. This stuff about "EU Users can't use US cloud services" seems overcooked.
- V__ 5y agoYou are right regarding the IP, the question would be however, why this isn't deactivated by default. Regarding the cloud: > In 2020, the EU Court of Justice struck down the so-called Privacy Shield data protection arrangements between the bloc and the US in what is now known as the Schrems II ruling, which has ramifications for US cloud providers, social media sites, and providers of online tools. > "This is a very detailed and sound decision. The bottom line is: companies can't use US cloud services in Europe anymore. It has now been 1.5 years since the Court of Justice confirmed this a second time, so it is more than time that the law is also enforced.
- denton-scratch 5y agoThat's some kind of summary (and it looks a bit partisan). It's perfectly permissible to use "cloud" services that are in the USA. It's just forbidden to use cloud services in the USA to store PII.
