Sites that can't be bothered to make changes for the GDPR simply just block all european IPs and some of them even...

GDPR is a fucking mess

If you restore data from backups you also have to have a 2nd set of backups of all GDPR deletion / correction requests e.g. restore from 3 months ago then replay all the deletions, posibly for customers which don't exist yet. it adds a shitload of complexity to the system.

Also LOL that IP addresses are considered personal information

fuck the EU you communist shits can fuck off

how is plaintext shit?

>summer Jow Forums actually wants the botnet
go back to facebook

...

> being this much of a nigger.
No retard if you dont want facebook to look at you block facebook , dont own a facebook account and block ad domains. You dont need social media accounts anyway. You also do not need the government to do it for you.

This is the only good part of the entire thing.

>You also do not need the government to do it for you.
So, who will do it for the people? Private companies? Surely that has never backfired.

Yourself dumbass

uhm yes it's extremely difficult to NOT COLLECT DATA YOU JEW

Go back to sucking botnet cock then. Your slave genes are showing

>Yourself dumbass
Users don't own networking hardware and websites/services. How do you as an individual legislate and discourage companies from data mining their user base?

>basically you get the option to choose whether you want to give your data to companies or not
>muh communist!
Either this Jow Forumstards trolls around or they're indeed retarded as hell.

>EU fights for our privacy
>Some random gay websites nobody goes on are too stupid to figure out how to stop logging
>FUCK THE EU
What's your problem?

>What's your problem?
Most likely shitposting for the sake of it.

Good luck suing a company that has intentionally shuttered its EU presence.

>Users don't own networking hardware and websites/services.
You do not need specific hardware to do that. Any machine can do that.
> How do you as an individual legislate and discourage companies from data mining their user base?
You dont discourage them, it's the same as with the fight for freedom. People will fight for it once and then after pro freedom laws pass they will go back to being lazy. Sane are only those who continue fighting and those who do not depend on the state's temporary good attitude.

>Any machine can do that.
Computing on Linux distros can be done on any machine, correct. Just as how software alternatives and browser extensions can. That doesn't give you control over the websites/services and companies behind them. This isn't legislations and doesn't discourage user profiling, but GDPR does. From the second part of your post, you clearly understand this concept. Where exactly is the disagreement? GDPR only aids people in the fight.

It's just your average burgers being butthurt because they're suddenly in a situation where they can't throw their weight around.
If this was the other way around there wouldn't be a fucking peep from them.
That or they're so brainwashed by constant consumerism, that they actually defend companies who are fucking them in the ass.
GDPR is good for everyone and no one with a brain should be against it.

GDPR makes it harder to acquire rogue web sites that destroys reputation. Now companies need to SUBPOENA TO ACQUIRE A DAMAGING WEB SITE. It is not good for everyone and it should've been worked on more than this rushed garbage.

*sigh* Do you honestly think that gdpr honestly will protect you?
It is a law.
If there is one truth in the world today its that laws can be ignored if you are willing to pay a share to the government.
It's not like i dont want "surveillance capitalism" to stop(since unlike with normal capitalism you do not make money by providing a product/service to customers) i just think that gdpr is reddit placebo

>"surveillance capitalism"
>reddit placebo
Where are you even getting these? Either way, you have some reading to do. There are mandated fines for not complying.

>If there is one truth in the world today its that laws can be ignored if you are willing to pay a share to the government.
So, paying a fine? The fine of ignoring GDPR rules and continuing the tracking is 4 million euros or 4% of your total revenue, whichever is highest.

I agree that text-only is good, but the pages are incomplete (i.e. some links arent accessible, images not showed or linked at all)
And it's fucking hard to read a news article at 100% page width of a widescreen monitor (and im somehow annoyed that it defaults to the serif font)

As an european, this is exactly what i want. Mass mailchimp unsubscription for example. Fucking sweet

Those are fines waiting to happen. GDPR protections apply to any European citizen, regardless of their geographic location (or using a VPN).

>Yea like I'm the one who should adjust
Ability to adjust self and surroundings is one of the defining human features.

I honestly don't understand peopple who browse full-screen.

On the other hand, I like GDPR because it's now triggering the people who supported it most

How is GDPR anything but a good thing? Jow Forums sure has changed since pol took over.

And so the isolation of the western world begins.

I've been looking forward to this.

Don't worry, I already solved it before my first post by writing my own custom stylesheet.
The thing that bothers me is I use a tiling window manager so it automatically takes up the entire screen when it can.

If EU just don't want the botnet, why do sites remove the CSS too? Look at fsf.org that can run even if scripts are disabled.

gdpr has bought me some time to learn how to avoid jews on the web which is nice.

>EU forces the supposed "botnet" companies to fucking behave because neither China nor the US is capable of that nor would've done that (in fact, they do the opposite - the governments promote it)
>this also includes forcing them to better their privacy policies domestically in the US as well
>"FUCK THE EU LMAO #ITAEXIT KEK LEFTYPOL"

What the fuck is wrong with Americans? Are they getting mad because the EU ended up caring more about its people than their union? Do they get triggered that their botnet companies are getting hit because their subconsciously brainwashed to be corporatists?

>I use a tiling window manager
Who doesn't? I don't often have any window open full-screen. Either there are other programs present or I simply create an empty frame on half the screen.

Exceptions are videos and 2-page PDFs.

america isn't one person, user.

So if a site blocks EU IPs can't I just use a VPN to bypass the block?

That's right, it' more like 3 or 4 persons.

>sites that can't be bothered to make changes for the GDPR simply just block all european IPs and some of them even deleted their accounts
>This isn't how it was supposed to work!
I think that's exactly how it's supposed to work. Sites/organizations/companies that have are inherently dishonest about their intentions with users private data are outing themselves in public with these actions. There needs to be a list of these entities so we can block them, too.

This.

Honestly, GDPR just gives companies an excuse to not backup anything. When they have issues and lose your data on their service they can just go LOL NOT OUR FAULT, BLAME THE EUROPEANS.

Sad that the companies can't cuck you as easy anymore?

>Where are you even getting these?
Sounds like /poll/. Pros at hating on things that are bad for companies and/or have something to do with the EU, even if it would be bad for (((them))).

Pretty sure it's only for companies in the EU, or companies targeting users in the EU. Blocking EU users can hardly be considered targeting them.

>EU just don't want the botnet,
>why do sites remove the CSS
This should tell you something about the CSS.

so what? probably they are shitty companies anyway. hope they all start blocking and deleting users, then we have alternatives that respect the privacy. can't see anything bad about it.

>bloated websites struggle with their own bloat
Good riddance.

yeah, it's fucking baffling. poltards are even dumber than i originally thought.

Fullscreen makes sense at 1366x768 or lower. On modern displays it's crazy.

>regulation and burdensome rules that small businesses or individuals can't follow! How dare they block us!

The same euro fag who complains when companies charge more for something in Europe not considering the extra taxes and issues with doing anything there.

It's a stupid extra burden that raises the cost of doing business on the Internet. A firewall rule geoblocking Europe is by far the cheapest and easiest method of compliance for most sites.

Good, fuck you euro commies

that IS how it's supposed to work and it's FUCKING BEAUTIFUL

EU shuts down all faggoty fucking useless shitty websites and apps, GOOD

i'd welcome that with open arms, it would keep european users safe from having their data illegally sold and traded by non-european companies all over the globe.

Just build your own lmaoooooo

Eurofags btfo.

haha lol’d hard when i first heard this

How?
Is connecting to a css file also botnet?

It's still wide on my 1366 laptop

Fuck with the US and get hit Eurofag. We don't have to answer to or abide by a bunch of cucked foreign government laws. Our tech companies would rather block your asses than comply!

>Our tech companies would rather block your asses than comply!
which is why the only sites worth mention are all complying with GDPR, right?

They still keep a shadow profile thanks to all of your contacts and every fucking website snitching on you.

I don't use it and block ad domains network wide, but to think that is all there is to it is delusional. These cunts will still find ways to track you, its what they do.

>Nu internet browsing fuck only uses Reddit and Google so thinks those are the only sites worth visiting

Lmao

Jow Forums isn't compliant, are they?

Saw "Forbes lockout" and got my hopes up. Still waiting for them to fail.

point me to a single site that is blocking EU users that i should care about. just one.

It's actually causing a lot of problems to small businesses and hobbiest sites and services, in which the owners cannot afford the time or effort to maintain compliance

Just stop harvesting data like a faggot.

>block all european IPs

good riddance

Jow Forums will eventually.

>block euros
>non-european companies lose 30% of their income
>eu citizens are protected from being datamined

yes, please block euros. it's a win-win for europe

Get shit on. I hope EVERY PIECE OF SHIT tech startup suffers until the end of time and is forced to eat shit for all the trash they are constantly pulling

Jow Forums isn't storing any unnecessary information on its users and selling that data to third parties. and if it is, i'll be thankful when its gone. try again.

It sure does. Have you seen the stuff Hiroshima is doing lately? You should stop using it.

Im fuckig. Cant breathe. This is the best dya of my life

>Have you seen the stuff Hiroshima is doing lately?
you mean the third party css breaking tracking scripts which everyone and their mom is already blocking? are those hosted by Jow Forums or by, well, third parties? if it's the latter, Jow Forums is not storing any relevant data, third parties are. so those third parties will get sued and possibly block EU users, not Jow Forums itself.

That's not how it works buddy.

still waiting on that proof you've got.

So Facebook can now track its user all it wants as long as the tracking is done by a third party? Fucking retard.
