   And how funny - I just got an email from Meta about Instagram: "Legitimate interests is now our legal basis for using your information to improve Meta Products" Fun read https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

   Exactly. The ECJ flapped a bit in 2019 about this but then last year opined that the current interpretation "legitimate interest" by the Dutch DPA is too strict (on the topic of whether purely commercial interests counts) It&#x27

   It's funny how sometimes it seems countries move in lockstep. Just two years later the UK introduced similar legislation to require verification of company directors among other things like banning PO Boxes. And the deadlines for compl

   I'm incredibly glad this isn't occurring in the UK + EU, because GDPR and the huge fines levied against Meta in the past have scared them sufficiently into not doing this kind of behaviour.

   Exactly. Many CAN opt out of the 48 hour limit (and are forced to do so due to the employer-employee power imbalance) > Every UK job I have ever seen has the opt out clause in the contract Ditto.

    I'm not implying or stating no fines are issued, so linking that some fines are issued is not a rebuttal. Also note that site does not track payments made. The big headline fines serve as a nice bit of PR for the EU > It seems you d

    Many countries in Europe have weak unions (eg Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, Czech Republic, Greece). And there is no real EU (did you mean EU by "Europe"?) wide labour law

    Yes, as I said, by putting it in the employment contract when applying for a job. Honestly it's hilarious how some people view GDPR. They think CEOs lose sleep at night worrying about it, that they might go to jail for it, or have to p

    I don't agree. Which laws? Putting it in the contract is giving your permission. You're allowed to give your permission under GDPR. A similar thing happened with the Working Time Directive - almost all contracts in my country make

    The same could come to Europe (lowballing broke people), because you can just make employees give their consent by baking it into all employment contracts. Just like the working time directive opt-out (HR say "take it or leave it"

    This will achieve 3 things: 1. No reduction in crime 2. A huge chilling effect on the innocent population, further subduing people and paving the way for more authoritarianism. 3. Large amounts of profit for a private company
