I'd guess that Google's support for their ad services are good enough? The problem here is that Play publishers are not really Google's customers.

Amusing :) Although I have to admit that I am even less sure after using that site. There doesn't seem to be an indication that DKIM "FAIL" in red is a good or bad thing after it attempted to spoof a domain I own. I assume it

Chrome is currently a major component to Google's hold over its users' web experience. When it is measured in terms of market share, it appears to me that the browser wars and search engine companies fight in the same battles.

I imagine a paperclip factory with trucks driving in loops in front of a scanner that is over counting them as they drive past.

So how you want the game to work is that you expect me to defend myself against being called bigoted or yield to your ideology. That's how you are propagating your perspective?

We are now at a stage where a twitter mob would see "men should not be allowed to compete in women's sports" as a bigoted statement. To the vast majority of people there are important differences between men and women, and wi

Reading the linked blog post and a bit of the other stuff there I echo the frustration of the parent. Give me a bash script, not a checklist. They're requiring more attention from the user than is appropriate. Let's not restrict o

This also applies to a single universe where an action might have many unintended consequences, possibly snowballing into exactly the opposite from what you would have wanted. In this sense, each of your decisions are important and you are

At the very least, through dialog, if you are wise, you will recognise these goals in yourself as well.

Free expression and dialog is how we grow. Who would be against that ?

You're expecting normal people to successfully invent the car? I have much more faith in them forming a relationship with a paying customer, and offering a small process improvement through a MVP. An MVP will also help with appropriate

For past events, I always beg people to somehow explicitly include the timezone in an encoding or storage, even if it's just UTC . i.e. never be tz naive! A tz naive PG column is a mess waiting to happen.

Wondering if you would you say that the proposition has been falsified? Because debunked means falsified.

Ehhh, Trump got popular in part because he says what he thinks and doesn't want to make friends with the then establishment. Making enemies is expected. When you say ostracized, do you mean removed from Twitter?

According to the parent comment's link "Tiny specks of metallic iron (Fe0) are embedded in each dust particle's glassy shell [...] microwaves melt lunar soil in less time than it takes to boil a cup of tea"

I'm tilted more towards the US being in the wrong here and should repeal some acts. I do agree with you that it applies to every website in the world when it collects info on individuals located in the EU. Penalties only seem to occur

I don't think that's a fair implication, but a "balanced take" means nothing to me on this topic. I want all sides to argue their position as hard as they can and then let me decide for myself.

It's not actually about serving traffic across borders, it's about what you collect. If you collect PII, according to EU courts, you are responsible for it and will be held responsible if you plan to do business in the EU.

The problem is that the US CLOUD act compels US companies to provide data access to US agencies, regardless of where the data flows. It could even be servers on EU soil. EU courts hold that these kind of acts violate the data rights of indi

If a website irresponsibly collects and stores information from individuals located in the EU, then they are violating the individual's data rights. It seems like e.g. the US CLOUD act requires US businesses to provide their agencies a

There can indeed be lots of magic going on in a backend and various ways GDPR violations may or may not be discovered. Here's an amusing 320k euro fine https://ico.org.uk/media/action-weve-taken/enforcement-no

This is the technical challenge that a network like Freenet attempts to address.

Actually, it could be applied in an extraterritorial way. The GDPR applies to processing of data of individuals located in the EU/EEU and states the rights of these "data subjects". If your business violates the GDPR and wish

For larger businesses, relying on whistleblowers or auditing might be one way. For smaller ones using tools like the one discussed here. Or maybe a browser plugin that automatically notifies visitors. https://www.enforcementtrack

If it's a US site, I know that's a promise that it can't really make, due to US laws. If it's a EU site, then I could hold them legally responsible if it's just theater.
