Security recordings fall into the category if legitimate need, and have to be deleted after a short while.
- rglullis 6mo agoHow is that enforced?
- carlos22 6mo agoIts not. Especially when using US Cloud services. And people do that. Hell even government run schools us GDRP-violating software and force the students to BUY them. The law is nice, the reality is different...
- ragall 6mo agoIt doesn't need to. Those recordings are "radioactive" and can't be used in any legitimate fashion except by intelligence agencies.
- rglullis 6mo agoPlenty of data brokers operating outside of the EU who wouldn't mind the "toxicity" of the data they buy.
- ragall 6mo agoOr, I should say, things are enforced after the fact, through the possibility of criminal charges or civil lawsuits. Enforcement doesn't mean that crime is made impossible, just that there is enough deterrent.
- rglullis 6mo agoExcept there isn't enough deterrent. The big companies are still mining user data, they are just forced to use some extra dark patterns to trick people into compliance. Would-be criminals are not going to stop being criminals because of the threat of fines. And TLAs are not going to wait for due process to acquire access to data legally. All that GDPR does is give the illusion that people are being protected and CYA for politicians and bureaucrats when asked "what are you doing about evil Zuckerberg?"

- ragall 6mo agoYou're veering way off-course here. This started from "I was never asked for consent to have my face recorded when I get into a shop in Germany. Were you?", to which I replied that those recordings are radioactive and nobody's allowed to do anything with them except for intelligence agencies. We're not talking about generic web tracking and dark patterns.

- ragall 5mo agoThe editing window is too short, unfortunately.
- ex-aws-dude 5mo agoStop correcting people when you can't even spell worth a damn yourself, you're just adding pointless noise to discussions. I don't want to have to read your noise.
