Shouldn't Jow Forums have made changes to become GDPR compliant?

>Hiro lives in France.
Really? Why?

It could have something to do with the fines he owes in Japan.

Fine me over my dead body. Not my fault some onions boy EU sand nigger loving fuck wanders onto my site

Stop violating their privacy or block their IPs, your choice.

i wanna fug astolfo

>Could Hiro get fined for millions if someone decided to snitch?
Nobody would do that, right?

I mean it would mean the end of Jow Forums if you did and nobody wants that...

I bet it would be a lot of trouble too. You would have to find the authority who handles information rights complaints in your country (like ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ in the UK) and click a few things on their website, after which you won't be involved in the process in the least...

nobody's processing personal information on an anonymous imageboard you dumb trap poster. This site asks for no personally identifiable information. No account, no usernames, no profiles, nothing.

google analytics is not the responsibility of the site owner.

You're ignoring the existence of passes and the fact that GDPR explicitly makes Google Analytics the responsibility of the site owner if they're using it to collect information.

Let's make GDPR-tan!

IP's are personal information. You should only hold to it as long as it is technically necessary to provide service. You cannot store ip data for banning unless it complies with article 32,11 or 47 of GDPR directive. Also there is no info with whom Jow Forums pass data is being stored, shared used and so on. There is no mention how long IP data is stored.

Hiro is already wanted for rape and murder in 30 countries he doesn't care.

Get on it then, find a european and get them to file a complaint. Lets find out exactly what Hiro does with our info.

Way ahead of you, although this is a standard subject access request rather than a complaint.

We can only hope. This site is trash.

I'm pretty sure it already is GDPR compliant. Payments for Jow Forums pass are handled by Stripe and Jow Forums does not store any payment info according to the FAQ. This is an anonymous image board so no personally identifiable information is being stored.

Google analytics doesn't fall under GDPR as it doesn't convey any personally identifiable information.

IP addresses and any device IDs are considered personally identifiable information.

Well good luck, because that means literally every website on the internet has to be GDPR compliant since your IP address is required to communicate with a server. Have fun enforcing that.

That's true, if they store if for tracking purposes. If it's required for the site functionality or they don't store it, it's fine. Google Analytics isn't required for Jow Forums's functionality, so it should be opt-in.

>literally every website on the internet has to be GDPR compliant
Well, it does. It's not optional.

Make a thread or something if you get anything back, I'm real curious.

Sure thing, all your data has been removed.
>you lose your Jow Forums pass by request

I'm well aware of that.

You're right, every website has to be GDPR compliant, or they'll get fucked

On paper maybe. But realistically there are probably literally millions of sites that are currently not GDPR compliant and never will be. Enforcement on that scale is simply not possible when your scope includes IP addresses as personally identifiable information.

IP addresses aren't really personally identifiable anyway which is why this is kind of stupid. You can't be convicted of a crime in the US based on information tied only to an IP, because we don't consider them personally identifiable here.

The largest websites in the world like Jow Forums should still be expected to adhere to GDPR standards, even if the enforcement can never be perfect.

Initially there will be issues, but EU is shilling hard for this and has public support. In probably decade GDPR will become golden standard, and websites found with non-compliance to GDPR will be targeted for blocking or legal actions. Right now regulatory agencies in EU might not have time or resources to police all websites, but over next few years significant resources will be put into this.

>Enforcement on that scale is simply not possible
True, it's just that you may get fined if someone cares enough.
Just like with piracy, they can't enforce it, but they can still fine you for it.

>IP addresses
Isn't this going to really fuck over law enforcement for stuff like CP?

Ahahahahha, The EU can't do jack shit to Jow Forums. The only thing they can do to enforce this shit is block Jow Forums in the EU. Then guess what, nobody here will give a shit, and we'll move on with life. Anons who really want to be here will use TOR or a VPN.

You can still store IP addresses in a manner that's required for the site to function. Jow Forums is a forum without registration, so it should be clear that it requires temporary storage of IP addresses to function.

But Jow Forums's owner lives in the EU.

Oh, didn't know that. Assumed he lived in Japan. Well, if Jow Forums goes down, we'll all just move somewhere else all the same. Maybe 4chans DNS lease expires, and somebody else will snatch it up and be the new owner. Maybe it'll be someone who actually cares about improving the site.

Fucking read the entire thing, the government and police are exempt from the GDPR

Where does it say that?

There are 6 lawful reasons to process personal information. Consent is one of them, being able to comply with law is another.

>But Jow Forums's owner lives in the EU.
Jow Forums is an LLC. They cannot recover from Jow Forums by suing its owner.

>IP addresses aren't really personally identifiable
Browser sessions are. Having facebook and Google scripts on a site makes a shadow profile on you, which is nearly always personally identifiable especially if you're logged into Google or Facebook. IP just further helps identifying you by narrowing you down to a country, or a nearby larger city.

US gobmint overreaches out of their jurisdiction all the time. Why do you expect the EU to not do the same?

Oh thats exciting, if this thread tanks before tou get a reponse, what search term can I use to find a followup in the catalog? Very interested to know what they collect.

>IP addresses aren't really personally identifiable anyway which is why this is kind of stupid.
the law doesn't really say that though, it says ip addresses can only be considered personal information if you start relating them to identified or identifiable people through the use of other information (such as accounts, usernames, email addresses) and that you can't be as brazen about logging stuff if you're not securing it as well as personal information, it also means that you need a little better separation between collecting information for security purposes (like access attempts) and collecting information for other purposes
the law also makes it clear that there's different degrees of severity when it comes to leaks depending on how much information and what information was leaked, having a leak with lots of connected information is bad but if the information isn't really connected the impact is minimised

>Where does it say that?

it links to the relevant articles if you want to read them but it's a decent summary
