It's 2024, the jurors won't be anonymous for long. Dulcé Sloan on The Daily Show said she would've found juror number 2 on Facebook in 5 seconds.
"This reporter just put her entire LinkedIn page on the screen, & then was like, 'People in the media need to stop doing this.'
The call is coming from inside the newsroom, girl! That's enough information to track down anybody."
The court had over a year to prepare for this day. They failed.
Is law enforcement prepared to protect jurors?#TrumpTrial
@spocko I'm waiting for the day when the people of the USA realize that #privacy exists, it is a right for every human being, and some law inspired by the #GDPR should be created at the federal level.
@EU_Commission Well, the topic I disliked the most is your plan to compromise the online safety, security and privacy of all 450 million Europeans with the plans to scan their devices. In addition, you are not open and transparent enough about these plans, as most of those 450 million do not know you are working on this. You know it does not work and that is in violation with human rights, yet you keep pushing. Why? #CSAM#CSS#Encryption#Security#Privacy#GDPR
@EU_Commission Talks and promotions of (Language-)Exchange programs.
And also on how to make the #EU more independent in regards to big tech companys(especially those that violate the #GDPR).
Every #PrivacyPolicy: "We follow the law"
No shit, Sherlock! I was expecting that much of you. That doesn't mean, that you don't exploit loopholes where you can.
We need an independent regulator to ensure strong protections and get redress when things go wrong.
But the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (UK) weakens the role of the Information Commissioner's Office. That’s why we've presented amendments.
@lifeofguenter For a threads.net account to be followable from the Fediverse, several conditions have to be met at this time:
1.) The account must be located in the USA, Canada or Japan. Perhaps more countries will be added soon, but for the time being not from the EU thanks to the #GDPR.
2.) The #Threads account holder must have agreed to be visible in the Fediverse.

I thought the cookie consent alerts were bad back in the states, but - WOW. If I lived here (visiting Europe), I would FAR rather have cookies just set and not be told about it vs. this level of in-your-face, at-every-turn COOKIE ALERT, without question. Oy.
L'uso di Microsoft365 da parte della Commissione europea viola la legge sulla protezione dei dati per le istituzioni e gli organi dell'UE
A seguito di un'indagine, il #GarantePrivacy europeo per la protezione dati #EDPS ha riscontrato numerose violazioni del #GDPR da parte della Commissione europea nell'utilizzo di #Microsoft365 e ha imposto una serie di misure correttive
Actually I can't really bash #Lemmy for this (as much as I'd want to) because it seems like pretty much the rest of the #fediverse has this problem of images not getting immediately removed from the server when you delete the image or even your account. I've tested with #Mastodon, #Pleroma, and #Misskey (even Misskey somehow gets it wrong by not immediately making your image unavailable by the URL even if you've deleted it from your Drive, however this doesn't always happen, see below).
Now I'm not sure about instance admin stuff (and I haven't tested with my admin hat on in this Misskey), but I'm guessing you don't have a view of all uploaded photos by a user that an admin can delete from in Mastodon and Pleroma either (please prove me wrong though!). :sagume_think: Misskey does let you view all files uploaded by a user and delete from there, though I'm not sure if the file gets immediately removed from the server once you hit delete, but it's probably gonna be like what I'm going to write below
What I do know about Misskey is that, if you've never accessed the URL generated for the file in your Drive, and hit delete, the next time you access it, it definitely will no longer be available; a pure 404 as expected. However if you've accessed the URL at least once, then the file will get cached. I'm not sure if it's Misskey doing this or the reverse proxy (like #nginx), because clearing cache or switching to a whole 'nother browser still shows the file is available.
Oh, and have I mentioned that all three software will automatically put your image into the server the moment you hit the upload button, even if you haven't submitted the post yet? Yeah it's equally as easy as Lemmy to accidentally upload something to those three as well.
Oh, and if you delete your account? It doesn't delete your uploaded photos. And good luck getting your instance admin to delete it; it requires a manual db query, api call, and — oh, none of this is documented? Welcome to my #fediverse#GDPR nightmare 💣🤯
24/7 GPS monitoring of migrants enabled the UK Home Office to collect vast amounts of personal data, invading people’s privacy and inflicting psychological burdens.
It’s a punitive and offensive measure that has rightly been found unlawful by the Information Commissioner’s Office.
You are on a privacy-offending Cloudflare site (#LemmyWorld), so Tor users are blocked from seeing your Cloudflare-jailed image. If you care about privacy you will bounce from that instance.
Without seeing the image, I have to ask how an anonymous user gets #GDPR rights. Or has #Reddit started supporting an identification mechanism of some kind? When I start the reg process, it asks for an email address, username, and pw, not a first + lastname (but my test stopped when a Google reCAPTCHA push was attempted). I have zero sympathy for Reddit -- they are rotten to the core scumbags, but I do not see how the GDPR can be applied to anonymous accounts.
(edit) I gather from other comments you must have posted an email. Would be great if you could copy the text of the email into the body of your post so everyone can see it and so people using screen readers can hear it. Thanks!
The GDPR is a not a directive. It’s a regulation. Nontheless, I read that the GDPR was specifically mirrored into UK law with a couple minor modifications.
But to answer @automaton, AFAIK the #GDPR does not apply in this situation anyway because Reddit accounts are “anonymous”. The GDPR only protects identified people.
"But Meta’s version of consent offers users a Hobson’s choice — of paying at least €9.99/month for an ad-free subscription (per each account they have on Facebook and Instagram); or agreeing to its tracking.
No other choices are available, despite the GDPR stipulating that for consent to be a valid legal basis for processing people’s information it must be freely given."
@0x1C3B00DA we are honestly not entirely sure how to handle the #GDPR aspect. We may have to put together a public working group (incl. lawyers) to discuss.
If your service processes Undo and Delete activities, you could argue that you adhere to Right to be Forgotten, but there is more to GDPR than just erasure/modification.
Actors #naming in EU laws:
"The end user and recipient of the service are both natural and legal persons using a certain service. However, the #DSA recipient of the service can be a person acting in a personal or commercial/professional capacity whereas the #DMA end user can only be a person acting in a personal capacity."
Reddit sent me invitations to their IPO to my "deleted" accounts! That's a GDPR violation! ( lemmy.world )
Any pointers on how to report them?...
