Is this based on your interpretation of GDPR, or legal precedent?
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe former - my understanding is that anything that can be used to identify a user is considered personal data, so even things that would be benign/meaningless in isolation would count if they produce a unique enough signal when aggregated.
- michaelt 5y agoGiven that 99% of GDPR stuff goes unenforced, presumably it's the former. If you understand the GDPR exclusively based on legal precedent, you'd probably conclude the GDPR doesn't exist.
- barrkel 5y agoGDPR creates a legal liability. It's less about enforcement and more about litigation risk.
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe risk is very minimal or non-existent in the current situation though. Maybe once Google or Facebook is properly fined (with those 4% fines everyone was fear-mongering about) then you'll have to reevaluate, but given how it's gone so far I can't see that happening ever.
