You were commiting fraud. He did nothing wrong by reporting you. Don’t want to get reported? Don’t commit fraud.
I’d agree if they were colleagues/strangers. I would never report a friend for that. I’d voice my opinion at the most but reporting them is effectively nuking the friendship.
Are you sure you were ever friends? I wouldn’t treat my worst enemy that way.
I’d just straight up tell him to leave you the fuck alone.
You don’t have to sue them. Suing a multinational company will bankrupt you. Let the data protection authority handle this.
GDPR fines can scale to a company’s yearly revenue. They can absolutely get in more trouble than it’s worth if they keep blatantly shitting on the GDPR. Keep reporting them whenever you see these violations.
There’s a really low bar for what is considered personal data. If they collect location data coupled to an “anonymous” ID, it’s still personal data, because it shows you moving to your house and place of work every day. If you can infer a person’s identity from the data, it’s personal data.
So yeah them collecting your personal e-mail address and refusing to delete it is a clear violation of the GDPR.
That wasn’t a typo. I was specifically referring to the process of deciding what instances to communicate with.
Spotify is very affordable and provides pretty much all music on earth. I’m not interested in jumping through hoops to download songs if I can just conveniently stream them all from one legit service.
It’s an ad and it’s not even subtle about it.
No. It’s just way to complicated to become mainstream. Maybe some instance can become popular enough if they do their marketing right and create a really simple sign up process and just handwave away the entire federalisation that goes on in the background.
Jesus Christ that’s a major security risk. Luckily I just created a random string for my password but imagine how many accounts those admins can hack by simply entering the same combination everywhere.
Is that you Huffman?
