Sigh. "..that personal data processed must be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. "
How do they think a hosting provider can check if personal data is accurate? Maybe if privacy didn't exist and everybody could be scrutinized.. but the ruling refers to the GDPR to justify this, and the GDPR is about _protecting_ privacy. So, what is it?
And for everything else.. is the material sensitive or not? How can anyone know, in advance?
I suggest every web site host simply forward all and every input to an EU Court address, and let them handle it. They're the ones suggesting that hosts should make sure that personal data on someone is "accurate", they're the ones demanding that the data should not be "sensitive", so they can as well be responsible for vetting the data.
But they're all crazy anyway, as they demand that a website must block anyone from copying the content.. so how, at the same time, can you even have a website? A website which people can watch?
If the ruling was about collecting data which isn't for displaying, i.e. what a net shop does (address, credit card number), then this would be understandable. But provisions for that already exists, instead they use this (GDPR) as a tool to extend this to user-created content. It's not limited to ads, and ads do need something done. Something totally different from this.
- orwin 10mo ago> It's not limited to ads Are you sure? We might have a different reading then, I felt it was obvious it was because it was an ad. And even more, an ad display through an algorithm, I.E it wouldn't apply to Craigslist or platform that display user-generated ads in chronological order.
