Ich habe mir gerade diese Doku angesehen und ich muss sagen, dass es mich nicht nur wütend macht, sondern machtlos fühlen lässt. Ich glaube, es wäre wirklich am vernünftigen ein Leben ohne digitalen xyz zu führen. Ich sehe keine Möglichkeit diese kriminellen Handlungen komplett den Riegel vorzuschieben.

Danke @roofjoke und @sebmeineck für die journalistische Meisterleistung. 👉 netzpolitik.org/2024/databroke…

@kevinrenskers Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's okay.

  • This #US-centric attitude is just wrong!
    • We don't have that #DataBroker bullshit here and certainly noone wants it here eiter!

Seriously, One cannot deploy #ClownFlare in compliance with #GDPR & #BDSG as these are incompatible with the demands of #CloudAct and #CloudFlare is too busiy #bootlicking, so even if they could somehow do a legal construction to avoid that [which would mean they'd have to build a fully independent subsidiary in the EU and GeoIP stuff which isn't even reliable!) they won't!

  • Same goes with all the other #GAFAM garbage:
    • Just because there isn't a #Schrems3 or #Schrems4 court decision doesn't mean it's gonna be safe!

#thxbye #EOD #next

@[email protected] Yeah but who is talking about exporting PII, including IP addresses? Umami doesn't store IP addresses. Not sure if CloudFlare does, but since a huge chunk of websites use CloudFlare and their security rules, pretty sure it's ok. It's not being used to track anyone.

@oaklandprivacy would be better if they copied #GDPR & #BDSG and banned any #DataBrokers without said #DataBroker having explicitly obtained written consent beforehand!
