Q: Based on his ideas, would Adolf Hitler be for or against GDPR and right to erasure nowadays if he still lived?

A: It's reasonable to infer that Hitler would not support a regulation like #GDPR which emphasizes individual rights such as #privacy protection, data accessibility or erasure; and instead might favor more centralized control over information dissemination for propaganda purposes.

There is no mention of me being a geany pig or a lab rat on my French passport... #France #EU

So basically, in the name of decentralization, a small group of people, that have not been elected, decided that nothing could be deleted online (because they let GAFAMs scrap their data while being against it????). That's called democracy? I don't think so. #Diaspora #fediverse #GDPR #rightToBeForgotten #threads #Meta #FB #X ...

And Dennis Schubert is interviewed by Ars Technica, is this a joke?

@silentexception the only thing he's saying is that bots are DDoS the web because of the huge load they add. What's the link?

@fla Hi Antoine Duparay? The link is that Diaspora tech team, from which you are part as far as I know, allow bots to scrap by defaults in the software.
I know because all public posts go to Google. When I asked you guys in 2018, Dennis Schubert said "public is public", wow.... Even FB is not that bad in comparison, (in that respect, content sharing scope ownership).

@silentexception yes, it's me. Nice to meet you.

>Diaspora tech team, from which you are part as far as I know, allow bots to scrap by defaults in the software.

I don't understand that. We all know that scrapper bots don't respect robots.txt and that it's very difficult to block them. Personally I am probably going to put in place Anubis or something similar in front of my instance, but this is not something that the diaspora developers can provide. I don't get what you would expect from us?
