Probable course of action is MSFT implementing a hotfix in the next 3-6 months, that will be nowhere near to address the topic.
Another 2 years of EDPS investigation.
Then MSFT will release another patch 3-6 months after that actually solves the issue.
But in the meantime, they would have implemented another mechanism to spy on users.
Rince and repeat.
Article 3 GDPR is straightforward, gdpr will apply.
The real question is how any kind of authority could enforce it ? Almost no chance that any law enforcement/regulator will bother a single-user instance purely on the ground of gdpr...
I’m not so sure about the GDPR status for the Fediverse, I don’t think there’s the law is prepared for “Jerry runs this for people, just for fun”. It’s very much “official organisation” or “money grabbing business” oriented. Someone should fund an actual lawyer to look into this and lay down the real requirements.
I'm working in the gdpr compiance field ;) Using a personnal device to monitor public space doesn't fall under the household exception, this solution even pre-dates the GDPR (https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-12/cp140175en.pdf).
(the case-law is about camera fixed on a private house, but the logic easily translates in a private server grabbing public data).
but when legal compliance comes up, everybody just sticks their fingers in their ears and pretends not to hear you.
Just as you did ^^
No, Lemmy servers are not exempt from GDPR compliance. The household exemption (you are not subject to gdpr for private activities) only applies for purely personnal activities. As soon as a service is offered to someone else, the exemption is no more applicable.
That's one of the drawback about open-source projects, they are designed to fulfill a need (persistent storage & decentralised communication for Lemmy), and no one give a f*ck about legalities.
Damn... I'm a Linux user that basically hates the MS way of life, but I must admit that they are taking AI seriously AND share their tools. So kudos, please continue !
I shamelessly reused the AI assesment template at work and this RIT will be pushed to some colleagues.
2 main reasons in my view:
Germany is shit for Internet connections...
Expensive and slow...
It's possible, I've been tricked last year by a similar attack (the sneakiest attack possible to target privacy people, imho).
I praise IT Security for putting so many safeguards, sandboxes and verifications!
By definition, Jedis are doing the Good.
But be it in movies, books or comics, I never came accross any mention of working hours or PTO.
They have unionize.
It misses the most important information: why.
The CNIL (French privacy regulator) slapped Discord in October last year because they never deleted accounts (hi GDPR).
Since then, all tech companies are hurriedly designing a plan to mass delete inactive accounts.
TL;DR Both are crap and don't respect your choice when opting out. iOs is even (a tiny bit) worse than Android, as info of nearby devices are being also sent.
It's rather the other way around, Word is not 1 to 1 compatible with LibreOffice Writer when it comes to document editing. Writer is far better on that aspect.
