I have zero problem saying your startup or small business doesn't deserve to collect my personal info if you can't protect it. Doing your accounting, paying taxes, and following labor laws are also burdens on small businesses. Not

Mismanagement could help those funds disappear pretty quickly. It's rare that any kind of organization or business needs no governance.

You're giving a business definition of a few responsibilities for an executive and then saying it's a poor fit. Now try giving an NGO definition of an executive to see if it's a better fit and if they have any significant res

You're moving the goal posts. Your claim was that all posts are globally public. That's wrong. But to play along, what happens to the data depends on where it is stored. If the data center is in the US then the government can get

I would be happy. I'm not an executive so I don't get executive pay. The executive salaries at Wikimedia seem low compared to what you can earn at a similarly sized business.

Can EU governments force companies to turn over data? If not, then you are talking about what EU governments do secretly. That's a different topic.

Do you collect and store personal information for this website? I bet you could find a dozen or more websites summarizing your legal obligations if you wanted to create one web page. Since the context was Facebook, I was speaking about what

That's true but the evidence points to companies changing policy to avoid increasing fines and the risk of being banned entirely.

Facebook posts can be made for only friends to see. Other social media has similar controls. Facebook also has private messaging.

As a start you'd need to read the details of GDPR laws. And probably hire a lawyer.

Facebook is not the government so even if what you say is true, it's really off-topic. Being protected from businesses violating your privacy is a good thing.

I never made any such claim that it would be impossible. Your initial claim is still wrong.

And on it goes. Nephew really wants to say goodbye but has to finish studying for finals so a week turns into a month. For those who enjoy life, these decisions are easy in theory just like losing weight. And much harder than imagined when

To be more accurate, the EU is requiring all storage and processing to be in a country which doesn't violate EU privacy laws. That's reasonable and flexible.

That's wrong. A data center in the US can be forced to hand the data over to the government. And that's not the only protection you lose.

They broke a law that violates basic human rights. Privacy is important to EU citizens, and unlike the US they largely enjoy that right thanks to laws which are enforced. Nothing to do with taxes.

It wasn't implied. Instead you are wrongly inferring. Now imagine you live in the area and drive by the farms. You could always tell by the smell which farmers were trying to cash in on organic crops.

It's not high risk. It does not depend on prices going up. It depends on renters paying most or all of your mortgage. It just runs itself if you get good renters. That's where you put all the time and effort upfront. Yes it has so

I doubt it. I said "far away" meaning buy in a low cost of living area. Especially one that is popular and growing. Although it's convenient to live in your first property investment, it's not a requirement. Rent near wo

One of the reasons I almost never visit Facebook anymore is I don't trust them with my personal data. And even after being fined $5 billion - the largest privacy fine by far in history - they never come clean and admit any wrongdoing.

Good communication has long been known as difficult to achieve. I could easily infer answers. But by asking questions with "obvious" answers I regularly uncover miscommunication. Try it.
