In order to collect, store and process data about people in the EU, you have to do so in a manner compliant with the EU law on that.
Collecting that data on a web page is a choice.
A semi-hidden security benefit of GDPR is that it makes people think twice before collecting and keeping data - you can't leak data that isn't in your database in the first place.
- scarface_74 3y agoIf I am talking to a group of friends some in the US over Facebook messenger. Should that be stored on EU servers?
- tchaffee 3y agoSure. Or any country that complies with EU data protection and privacy laws.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoYou first asked "if I create any web page". Now "Talking over Facebook messenger" is a complete change of subject. It is on Facebook, not you, to operate Facebook messenger in a legal way.
- scarface_74 3y agoHow can Facebook both allow a user in the EU to send messages to a group of people in the US and not store data in the US?
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago> How can Facebook Run their business in a legal way? There's a word for businesses that are systemically unable to comply with the law. I don't know if Facebook is one of those, but it might be. Shutting down is always an option for that kind of company. Nothing of vale would be lost.
- tchaffee 3y agoIf you think it's technically impossible the burden of proof is on you. Facebook has not claimed it's not technically possible.
- scarface_74 3y agoDoes it really take that much of a leap of logic that if EU person sends data to a person in the US, that data is going to be stored on a server in the US?
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y ago>Does it really take that much of a leap of logic that if EU person sends data to a person in the US, that data is going to be stored on a server in the US? Yeah, it does. A person in the US is not a server in the US. It's an iPhone in the US, not a server. Does it really take that much of a leap of logic to understand that the server doesn't have to be on the same continent as the user?
- tchaffee 3y agoThat's not at all how it works. You're arguing against points where your understanding of the related technology is poor.
