Meta got a fine of over a billion euros. Google got a bunch of smaller fines, but it’s probably way above everyone else in terms of fines. Microsoft got half a billion. Even Apple got an 8 million euro fine, but that was more a tap in the wrist to make them think twice about some data collection.

And besides this, large companies are constantly in contact with the authorities and in smaller violations the general policy is to give a warning and let companies stop the illegal data processing voluntarily.

You cannot use an algorithm to correlate it with other data without express consent.

GDPR article 9 (1) says you can’t play algorithmic guess with people’s religion or political opinions unless you gave express permission to the service provider to do it (i.e. it’s not covered in the general GDPR boilerplate)

GDPR also applies to data you get from public sources.

That’s probably a massive GDPR violation. Automated processing of extra sensitive data like political beliefs and religion is not outright forbidden but it’s subject to extra protections.

Banking is easily accessible thru a web browser

Until your bank 2nd factor requires google play services and all the banks in your country have the same requirement.

Assuming you are the US, driving tests are mostly performative bureaucratic comedy, so states can pretend they are not giving driving licenses like candy.

Usually it’s about having permanent access to a lawyer to cover your legal ass before you get caught, as that’s where the best legal loopholes are, and about what laws were broken. GoFundMe campaigns are usually for laws affecting mostly the poor, which tend to be much harsher and broader than the laws that rich people usually break.

I had never heard about them before. TLDR, the highlights are:

• Hedge funds
• Sending data of motel guests to ICE
• Child labour
• Deflorestation of the Amazon

Nice company /s

From UNICEF’s Children’s Version/TLDR the Convention on the Rights of the Child:

3. Best interests of the child

When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. All adults should do what is best for children. Governments should make sure children are protected and looked after by their parents, or by other people when this is needed. Governments should make sure that people and places responsible for looking after children are doing a good job.

5. Family guidance as children develop

Governments should let families and communities guide their children so that, as they grow up, they learn to use their rights in the best way. The more children grow, the less guidance they will need.

(emphasis mine)

19. Protection from violence

Governments must protect children from violence, abuse and being neglected by anyone who looks after them.

This, plus all the rights that state that the default should be children being raised by their families, means what you are saying is literal international law everywhere except the US (though it’s a application is still… frankly non existent in most of the world)

Hyperrealistic acting also doesn’t help. Lots of actors insist on mumbling in a way that makes it hard to understand even if in a cinema.

Is that an “Americans are big tech’s guinea pigs” kind of thing? I still didn’t get any video ruined by a dubbing AI.

The only Europeans that use the . as a decimal separator are the British and present and former colonies.

All continental Europe except Gibraltar use the ,, and consequently so do most of Africa and South America.

I listen to almost everything except what I listened at 14. At some point I figured out my peers had terrible musical taste and I started listening to what I actually enjoy.

It looks like a nice mix of some of the worst design choices of C++ with some of the most dubious choices of Rust.

what’s the news here? They are basically using the same arguments the US used to not ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Minors being the parents property is still an almost uncontroversial position in the US even if people don’t phrase it like that.

In this case christian name is a synonym for given name. I bet if someone was baptised with a name that doesn’t match their legal given name it would be the wrong choice in this context.

It’s funny that they never complain about the “free” roads or the “free” police.

That is not dead which can eternal lie.

Though HP’s disturbed mind couldn’t ever come up with something as upsetting as the average PHP application’s codebase.

Even if this conspiracy theory was even remotely true, and not a distraction to protect the pedophile-in-chief, wouldn’t Obama have immunity for everything he did as president based on Trump’s precedent?
