I really feel the need to just blacklist the entire EU, to not deal with additional shit like gdpr, I do see its benefits, but I am already busy with getting my client approved by paywalls, other services and get all that bullshit integrated - I really don't need having to also shit out some very detailed statement about it all, if you want something like that, then create a generator that gives me all you want with couple clicks, else get fucked outta my sight.

I read an article yesterday that even the people that are supposed to enforce the law are still unclear how and underfunded.

Past few weeks have been a lot of work for me to get things done in time. Did not need all that extra stress xD

What the GDPR inforces is what you should anyways have already to ensure data privacy.

@FilipeRamalho I didn't have to say before that I save somebodys nickname and password in the database if they register, there's tons of shit floating around that could give potential fines for not mentioning and it's a pain in the ass having everything covered both for your own website and your clients website, because if the client once gets hit, he'll come running after me, so now I also have to add additional information that I do not confirm the full validity of those privacy pages, because what if I missed that one checkbox on page 4091 and the client got fined, yeah, no thanks.

:(

@FilipeRamalho also all summaries are vague and reading through the actual 50k word gibberish is also a nice way of wasting time

@Charon92 I do like a lot of points, which force user data encryption etc. but come on, some of it id so vague and ready for abuse to get some money pressed

The EU is working on protecting privacy, because companies can’t be trusted.

The USA is working on destroying the internet, because companies can’t be trusted.

Fuck ya too then :(

@FilipeRamalho By GDPR definitions someone's dump can be considered personal data. People can literally send you their poo and if you don't administer it in a way compliant with GDPR you will suffer repercussions.

@PAKA Yes because the dump is still data. If your service get's a lot of dump I would think about it.

@Condor the way its all defined is lawyers and fines food, to collect some international taxes, so to say, the intention is fine, I am completely with that thought, I always implement best practice and go over the top too, but like @PAKA said, it's a loose asshole we are talking about here, anything goes and anything could be called not GDPR compliant, which I fear for my clients sakes and especially myself.

Privacy Policies and ToS have been always a popular attack point if not actually updated a lot and or created/maintained by preferably a group of lawyers, adding gdpr that's now even more a mine field, I am already exhausted trying to list all, like chat tos, "we don't represent user content" and all that, now I'll have to even list that if a user registers, I save his god damn password, like that's common sense, how else will I verify you on login?

@filthyranter @NotFound I need to move all good EU people to a GDPR free island I guess 😁
