As long as they process data of European citizens it’s applicable. See all gdpr fines imposed…. Now the execution / collection would be a bitch but I could imagine à order to stop processing the data imposed to European instances…

I mean pretty crazy things can happen. See the various adequacy decisions / appeals by Mr Schrems; I cannot give guidance with a life expectancy of more than 1 year given the instability of the application of the regulation.

Not that I’m complaining ; it feeds me :)

Yeaahhhh I don’t know about that… likely all instances are processors. And the on he subscribe to would be controller. Somewhat because to my knowledge no one really decides of particular treatment of the user data (it’s all rather communist architecturally). So maybe every instance would be join controller…

And in the end up to the (join) controller to cascade the request. That’s part of why it’s a thing of beauty to watch it happen on the feddiverse 😅

Sometimes establishing a precedent with a weaker party is a good strategy though. It even went as far as litigating known parties for piracy issues. Anything is fair game to some actors.

Thought for GDPR most actors are legit and the actions have merits. Shoutout to Mr Schrems for example.

It seems a lot of humans still require it though, that’s the whole problem imho. If everyone was on the same page it would have disappeared or be no more than folklore same for the rest of legends and such like.

But a lot of humans still have a long way to go and waaaayyyy too many are preying on them while too little of us are steering towards betterment…

Technically he must still comply especially with data subject rights / request for deletion.

Now I wonder how that would work in practice, considering the underlying technology which is akin to what I manage (telco / isp) and where a lot of principles are still vague to implement.

Like when we get request to delete personal data sometimes some has been transmitted by nature of the service and a lot of actors have legitimate interest in processing / keeping the data for a while.

But generally it’s not about the content of a transmission but more the attached metadata used for billing and such.

Anyway it’s very interesting to watch, preferably from a distance.

Then take on yourself to help educate whoever doesn’t create a specific set of credentials to share accounts… But as we said back then - sharing is caring.

What bad habit? Proving entertainment to your loved ones on the house? Because as long as the account is created specifically for the purpose of being shared there’s absolutely no bad habit in that…Being generous is considered cool no?

As long as you segregate credentials and whichever service you’re sharing doesn’t expose any critical data like cc info what’s the risk?

True. Related to that I wish there were more engagement on lemmy. Most of the posts in my stream have zero replies or 1 and it’s the bot. But let’s keep smaller numbers - quality over quantity.
