Yep. Now everybody has to decide if they actually believe the government where they live has the ability to tell them exactly when and who, if anyone they are allowed to murder for no reason at all.
- jtbayly 5y agoI don’t live in the EU, which is the main point. The EU says it is illegal for anybody in the world to use Google Fonts. Guess how many people outside the EU care what the EU says they can and can’t do on their website. How many millions of websites are there using Google Fonts right now? How many were there last week? How many will there be next week? That tells you everything you need to know.
- blitzar 5y ago> The EU says it is illegal for anybody in the world to use Google Fonts Total and utter horeshit, and you are fully aware of it.
- jtbayly 5y agoI’m sorry if I misunderstood. The post I’m commenting on said Google Fonts are no no, did it not?
- blitzar 5y agoWhen you sell chicken in the EU it cant be washed in chlorie. That does not mean that the EU have banned anyone in the world from bathing their chickens in chlorine, but if you present your goods to the block it must comply with the laws of the block. Likewise when you present your website to people within the block, you must comply with the laws of the block. btw when you factory farm animals 10 high and they live their entire lives covered in the faeces from the 9 layers of chickens above is actually a good idea to give them a wash and disinfect them.
- jtbayly 5y agoWhich of the following are you disputing? 1. GDPR is an EU law that claims to apply to every single website in the world, mandating certain things regarding PII. 2. A court has now determined that using Google Fonts on a site will make it noncompliant with GDPR. 3. Thus, any site that currently uses Google Fonts is currently in violation of that EU law called GDPR. If you are objecting to #3, please explain why it doesn't follow from 1 & 2. Regardless, when you say I'm intentionally and knowingly spreading "horseshit," it's completely untrue and uncalled for. An apology would be nice.
- kuschku 5y ago> 1. GDPR is an EU law that claims to apply to every single website in the world, mandating certain things regarding PII. GDPR only applies if you specifically target EU citizens, are in the EU, are an EU citizen, make any money from the EU, etc.
- jtbayly 5y agoShow me where GDPR only applies if I specifically target EU citizens. I was under the impression that it applied if somebody in the EU visited my website.
- janto 5y agoSome context from https://termageddon.com/austrian-dpa-rules-that-google-analytics-is-not-gdpr-compliant/ https://termageddon.com/austrian-dpa-rules-that-google-analy... Generally, GDPR prohibits the transfers of personal data from the European Union to a country that does not meet the same privacy protection standards as those provided by the European Union. Due to a lack of uniform privacy laws that provide significant privacy rights to individuals and the surveillance of United States intelligence agencies, the European Union has long held that the United States does not provide adequate privacy protections to individuals. So it seems that if you are an individual located in the European Economic Area then the GDPR attempts to preserve your data privacy rights. A US website can't void those rights in exchange for some fonts.
