Does the system really delete it, or mark it as deleted? I'm not so sure.

Considering the EU's love of "lawful interception", I'd never use that feature even if I live in EU.

Yet, everybody is trying to circumvent GPDR somehow (because monies).
- dgellow 2y agoThere is nothing to intercept, it’s local storage Companies are regularly fined meaningful amounts due to not respecting Gdpr, citizens have clear ways to complain, companies do take EU rules seriously given risks of massive fines. I’m pretty sure it’s the most successful, well known privacy regulatory framework in the world, to the point where other regions point to it to describe their own frameworks.
- bayindirh 2y agoLawful interception is not limited to network capture and traffic sniffing. Border searches and “enhancement of the target device with surveillance tools to increase visibility” (i.e.: bugging your device with surveillance software) is also lawful interception. I live in a country which borders EU. We have GPDR compatible laws and my work contains a lot of cooperation with people and organizations inside EU. However, I think you can still find some “legitimate interest” in that data to mine it nevertheless.
- dgellow 2y agoGood point, thanks for pointing that out
