A critical reflection on GDPR

@topspin said in A critical reflection on GDPR:
It infuriated me because it implied that in order for me to opt out of their data storage, it transmits my data to literally dozens of 3rd parties. That's not how "don't share data about me with 3rd parties" works.
QFT.
There's one thing I learned from the GDPR things: the sheer numbers of third-party garbage providers that are being used on some pages. If I had any doubts about blocking whatever third-part shit I can on browser-level, I sure don't anymore.

@hungrier No, that's being moo'ed. Being moated would mean something else entirely, and is likely irrelevant unless you're talking about a castle.
moated
verb, past tensethrown into the moat
The Count made an off-color joke in the presence of the Queen, and so he was moated.

Euroregulators overstep and make ridiculous laws and then everyone freaks out because it's all fucking ridiculous. Time to invade and straighten things out I guess.
Oh, please, you can't even straighten out your mess in the Middle East for how many decades now?
But how many stupid middle eastern laws are middle easterners pushing that disrupt commerce and the sharing of baby pictures, eh?
As long as you don't share pictures of puppies, I think you're alright. (That's haram, forbidden in Islam.)

Which is very different than harem, which is not haram. Stupid vowels.

Actually, it's not really different, it's a change in meaning when it came into English. Haram/harem means either "forbidden" or the living quarters of women, which are forbidden for men (other than the husband, small children, etc.) to enter. When it came into English, it was misunderstood to mean the collection of wives/concubines of a man with more than one wife.

Hey, I'm a Latter-day Saint and I have exactly 0 wives. Or girlfriends. Or friends in general

@Benjamin-Hall I know it's not been a thing since like 1896 but facts jokes

@loopback0 Wife recently mentioned to me how she used to be a big fan of harem anime. My response: "Must resist the urge to make a Mormon joke here..."

That's because the men in the FLDS have been hogging them.

They say correlation does not imply causation, though. Or does it?
-
@topspin Correlation requires a statistically relevant sample size.

Is there no such thing as non-statistically-significant correlation?
-
@masonwheeler Is "zero friends" a statistically relevant sample size?

"One person with" zero friends is not a statistically relevant sample size.

@M_Adams And when you say nuts and fruits, are you referring to plants, or humans?

I'm fairly confident that this is all OK under GDPR. Anyone who's not a lawyer wanna chime in?

I updated my iOS app to fix some bugs and had to provide a privacy URL.
Fortunately, making that privacy page was real easy.
<Appname> does not collect any private information or use any 3rd-party APIs. Thus, there is nothing to request deletion about.

See, I'm of the same mind, but what is considered "private information"? Is it a player ID? Username they provided? Stuff they made that others can (technically) download and share?
So sketchy...

For my app, literally the only communication it has is downloading updated schedules from a URL I maintain. But that's anonymous with no logging, so...
-
@Benjamin-Hall Then maybe just say “information” instead of “private information”?

The specific things requested by Apple are all phrased as "private information" (which it defines). So I figured I'd match the phrasing.
I strongly doubt anyone will look at it, so...
Edit: It's an internal app for the students at my school. Since it's BYOD, it had to go on the public app store. But it's pretty specific to our use-case. And we have signed statements saying we can use whatever we want however we want. The joy of being at a private school.

I wonder why schools seem to get a free pass for things that would cause outrage if a company did the same. There are plenty of other examples.
It makes even less sense when you realize they don't pay you, you pay them.
