>So Germans will find lots of loopholes to be covered, such as not using a German hosting first, and not stating their Web/Gopher/Gemini site as a commercial service, with no data collecting at all.
Again, this is criminal.
Again, I am aware that there are numerous technical means to circumvent this, yet all of these are criminal.
I still don't get what your point is.
- anthk 2y agoExploiting loopholes aren't criminal per se; what I mean it's that you can comply with the law by just stating you are not a commercial entity and privacy it's a right granted by the European Union. Thus, most German web/gopher/gemini hobbyists could just call the European Human Rights Court and sue the German goverment branches en masse. Better if that was done under a civil rights supporting NGO, because of legal advice. Once the bigass fines stack up at Berlin, the law wouldn't last for long.
- constantcrying 2y agoSuch a bizarre position. None of this is relevant for the legality in this moment or the legality of the chat monitoring. Also I think it is extremely unlikely that the court will agree. There are many, many more egregious laws in existence in the EU, this effects very few people and is a big sovereignity issue.
