Well, moreso.

I don't.

>>14850803

It's the GDPR shit from everywhere else come back when you actually got something.

What does this mean for Steam users exactly? If you get caught posting Pepe Trumps you get banned from real life?

>>14850867

I'm expecting to see tons of EU people arrested thanks to this.

>>14850875

What the fuck. Really now?

>>14850875

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>>14850885

>Live in Europe

>Have internet connected lights

>GDPR blocks you from accessing your lights

This actually happened.

>>14850895

>internet-connected lights

…why on earth would you do this.

>>14850895

Okay, interesting example. I'm going to have to research this more.

Okay, I looked it up. It's something by the EU which any organization that collects data from EU residents has to follow. It's similar to a bill of rights but with internet privacy or something.

I'm a burger about ready to hit the hay. I'll have to read into more research later.

>>14850875

>>14850945

it probably is just an excuse for the government to get their hands on your data, to "protect your privacy." Really got no reason to trust the EU to do anything right these days.

this fucking GDPR thing is affecting everyone and its annoying

>>14850826

All of that happened because of human nature. If not Steam, then somebody else would have figured that out and would have made bank.

>>14850945

I have to hit the hay little as well. So far I can confirm, that it is the final dead blow to the German speaking Internet. After the need for that retarded affirmation that you are not responsible for the shit you are linking to, the crack down in the frame of youth protection, the duty to provide an imprint (read your fucking Dox in most cases) if you just make just one fucking cent from your website, and also mandatory TV broadcasting licenses for streams that that are watched by more than 500 people each show, we got from the GDPR practically a ban on publishing photos with people in, because your mug in something is by definition personal data. That's it. You have to be out your mind if you want to still do something online inside the Germany.

Why did people ever find value in Steam/Valve in the first place? Some people like to harken back to a time when Steam was some bastion of corporate purity, but I find that hard to believe. Tell me, is there any validity to the claim that Steam was once so great? What changed?

>>14850803

>Valve discloses what they're spying on in compliance to laws

>OMG THEY'LL START SPYING

Your heart is in the right place but you're a serious fucking retard.

>>14851211

This.

The fuck is this shit anyway, getting ton of emails about updating euroshit policy from sites I didn't know had my email.

>>14850899

You buy a hockeypuck that records everything you say, makes a profile of your voice/tone/accent/inflection keeps any personal data it can find/hear and attempts to report you to the police if it hears you say something illegal, but hey it can read a wikipedia article and you can tell it to make your lights blue. Weeeeee!

Seriously though, if you aren't in burgerland do not fuck around with Amazon Alexa or Google Voice or whatever apple has. This isn't like the retarded shit where that anal crusted Vive developer said it was checking if you have guns in your house that aren't registered even though the drivers have long since been decompiled, Gooamapple Is and has been aggresively abusing data collection to attack people

Summary for the retards not keeping up with things:

New European law going into effect that requires companies to make all data they have on you available to you to view. You also have the right to have all your data deleted if you disable your account.

They have always had this data, now you just have access to all of it if you want.

>>14851166

They used to disallow third party DRM on their platform, for the longest time their DRM was just the bare minimum difficulty to crack because it was enough to get publishers to not be terrified of pirate fags downloading reuploads of software while also barely having to pay for it, and they used to actually realize they actually can't abuse a EULA and copyright law to steal all the software you paid for if they decided they don't like you. (Legally they still can't but they'll probably do it anyway because nobody will realize the copyright abuse by software developers to violate sales laws because technically they own the rights to the code/assets that make up the property, they in fact do not own the rights to the copy they sold you beyond suing you for redistribution which is clearly laid out)

Anyone that still uses Steam or still pay for his entertainment deserves this.

Always pirate.

Never pay.

>>14850803

>Start big brothering

Well apparently they cannot force an agreement to the new terms amd conditions and bypass the new law, so Europeans can still tell valve to stop taking their information.

>>14852331

I've received plenty of emails from every place I ever gave any kind of personal information including the company I work at specifically because of these laws.

It's nothing special, it's just the companies covering their asses.

From what I gather from this situation, a regular citizen could sue a company if they ever notice that the information they gave was passed on to someone else without their authorization. It makes sense for them to send these emails and talk about these changes ASAP (especially since their deadline was 25th of May) since every single proflie they have is now a liability and any leak of information is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

This isn't about Steam screwing their customers even more, they aren't collecting any more information than they already had anyway. It's about making sure the EU doesn't screw them in the future.

>>14852331

NOICE TRY JUIDF

>whole thread full of people who cant read and think they know shit

Now you can ask a company to delete all the data they have on you. How is that a bad thing?

>>14850826

>(1)

>>14852465

Well, technically you can't ask for ALL data to be deleted since some of it they have to maintain for legal reasons.

But it's stuff like transaction records and the like, to show where they got their money from, that you paid them for something, etc. Most of it like your name, contact and photos can indeed be deleted per request.

>>14852465

It can be circumventend. It sounds good for the private user, its shit for the private webmaster.

>>14852465

It's only a bad thing if you're working in that company. I work for a large IT corp and regularly joke with coworkers about the GDPR – what the hell would we even do if somebody called in and asked to delete ALL of his data? His data is strewn about in dozens of databases under a gorillion different departments and teams, and nobody knows just where the fuck HIS particular data exactly is. There's no way we could find all of it – we'd have to delete what little we know of and hope he doesn't notice. But we figure that if we can't find it from the inside, he won't be able to find out from the outside either.

Premade text concerning the stat of German Internet I came up with.

You don't understand this. Doing something in German on a Server that is inside Germany or operated by a webmaster who is willing to work with German where strangers could see this and snitch on you is equivalent to fulfilling a death wish now. Spastics like Drachonlord (embed related) could theoretically fuck you over or force a third party to delete everything about him from their platform, because they felt wronged. This means that citizen Journalist better run their shit anonymously, because they could get fucked with a 20 Million Euro fine. If you haven't known it; A TV broadcasting license alongside with the legal counsel you need for obtaining one costs about 10 000 €. Not having an imprint while making money with your website or even writing more than personal shit is up to 50 000 €. I totally forgot GEMA fuckery that has killed some websites 10 years ago. As soon you have something with music like AMVs for example, you can get fucked for not paying any license for it.

>>14851083

Something like this, but nobody who isn't retarded is participating. The only reason for running a domestic web presence is business. Other than that you are better off outside of the reach of German authorities and in any other Language but German. Nobody is going to risk the exorbitant fines for something stupid like a waifu shrine.

>>14851282

For Steam in particular, it means business as usual: They still have your Email, your country, transaction data and everything you shitpost there. So much is obvious. Putting all collections on private was maybe done to comply with this new law.

Just another reason for massmurdering of kikes and politicians.

I'm a little concerned about some of the broadcasting licensing that the EU nations seem to love, and would prefer that the practice stay out of my country.

Uh, no. That new gdpr regulation actually makes it illegal to not disclose what they're spying on and it's everywhere right now. Are you stupid op?

The probability of getting reported sinks to about 5% if your jurisdiction isn't that blaringly obvious. On top comes interest from Verfassungschutz (interior secret service) and a gorillion assholes who do love to send you written warnings or report you. On some platforms, your content simply gets blocked which makes your account worthless, because discussing the issues they filter you for in German if you can't be acessed by Germans doesn't make any sense.

>>14853288

The regulation affects identifiable information, aka tying it to their name/address/IP/etc. All you need to do it link all the info to a random string of numbers, like their IP through a hash, and it's fine according to regs.

No need to hire anyone, and I doubt you're collating giant folders of data like news sites and Google/Facebook, so the data you've got might not even fall into the same catagory.

The regulations are mostly targeted at advertisers linking people to marketing material.

>>14853337

If the American server opens it's services to the EU, they have to abide by these regulations.

Some news sites didn't want to stop gathering info on people, so they geoblocked the EU.

Technically, they only have to abide by requests from EU, but lots of new T&Cs I've read open it to everyone so it's not as much of a hassle to sort who is from where.

If they refuse because you're not in the EU, tell them your US IP is a proxy and reee hard.

>>14853493

Google made it into a "find similar images", not "find the same image". Use TinEye. Much better algorithms and can sort the results properly.

Recently a US court deemd Twitter a 'public space' with regard to speech.

Under the US constitution you have no right to privacy in a public spcae. But you do have a right to speak your mind freely without anything you say being censored.

With the EU trying to go in completely the opposite direction, its going to be interesting times ahead.

We could end up with a two tier system with EU social media being under very heavy censorship, while US citizens messages shitposts not being allowed to be deleted at all. A EU politician may not even be allowed to block US citizens from their feed.

Twitter was deemed a public space in that the President can't block people from viewing his work as they're official statements from an elected official.

It's still a service, so everyone else can block/mute whoever they like (Trump can still mute, however), and the admins can ban/delete as they please, for any reason.

>>14853567

>Twitter was deemed a public space in that the President can't block people from viewing his work as they're official statements from an elected official.

Yes. They ruled that his private account becomes official because twitter is a public space. He doesnt have the expectation of privacy like he would in a private space.

>It's still a service, so everyone else can block/mute whoever they like (Trump can still mute, however), and the admins can ban/delete as they please, for any reason.

It can only be either one or the other.

Either its a private service and then Twitter can be held responsible for everything on its platform (under libel laws) and obviously they need heavy handed censorship to deal with that.

OR Its a public space like any other in the US where US citizens have guaranteed free speech and twitter isnt responsible for what its users say nor can it remove or modify what people say.

Its not been decided yet. But the recent result is moving things towards the second option.

There was an interesting case some decades ago where a private company owned an entire town. They owned the land, the buildings etc.

In the end that was deemed a public space because it had the appearence of a public spcace and served all the functions of a public space.

>Yes. They ruled that his private account becomes official because twitter is a public space. He doesnt have the expectation of privacy like he would in a private space.

No. What is public is his tweets, as they are official statements from the President, aka an elected official.

If he distributes a flier about his latest policy to everyone except 1 person and denies them access, he's going against multiple laws regarding access to information from elected officials.

This would apply to any account he makes and uses for public and official business, and that's what he uses Twitter for.

As for every other account, aside from otehr elected officials, this doesn't apply and they can do as they please.

The service, Twitter, can block whoever they like. They can ban Trump tomorrow without reason and nothing can be done against them.

If you're going to talk about court findings, actually read what's being said instead of some fanciful media story trying to push a narrative.

>>14853643

Thanks that is a very interesting example. Similar to the one I had heard of already.

I would have thought that the same logic applies to social media sites.

What I do know for certain is that social media sites can not be a unique hybrid between private and public spaces, where they retain the benefits of both without any of the down sides.

That will only last until its challenged in court.

>>14853673

The account in question, @TheRealDonaldTrump is used in a professional capacity. Off the top of my head, just a few weeks ago he announced the new CIA Director from his private Twitter account before any official statement was released. This counts as using it for official business.

>>14853675

Twitter/Facebook wouldn't be subject to this, as it's your choice to sign up to those services.

Google and Apple are the same, but they're more ingrained i.e. Apple sells millions of devices that connect to the internet and Google is much further spread than Facebook, so they would have a harder time proving they have the right to censor.

>>14853720

>Twitter/Facebook wouldn't be subject to this, as it's your choice to sign up to those services.

Well, if realDonaldTrump is barred from blocking users because it constitutes a public forum, then by extension Twitter cannot deny you access to the service as they would be denying you access to a private forum: @realDonaldTrump.

Therefore, in the interest of protecting what we've established as a public forum, Twitter would have to allow accounts that post literally anything, as long as it's legal in the United States, to at the very least be able to post on twitter.com/realDonaldTrump.

>>14853729

Anyone can access his Tweets without an account.

>>14853720

>Twitter/Facebook wouldn't be subject to this, as it's your choice to sign up to those services.

I dont think that has ever been a successful argument in court.

>>14853740

If you sign up to their services, they can remove you from them for whatever reason they deem fit.

It's in their T&Cs and every user agrees to them when signing up.

If you want a real world example, anyone can enter a State Park, but you can be removed should you break any conditions of entry, like lighting a fire.

>>14853749

Arsen is a crime. You would be removed by the police from both public and private spaces for that.

I dont think that proves a lot.

Back on topic: if their terms of service asks people to waive their constitutional rights, then its an invalid contract.

Just like how I cant make you sign a contract saying I am allowed to kill you. That is autuomatically an invalid contract and I am actually comitting a crime by drawing it up.

>>14853777

Lighting a campfire, though I don't know what I expected from someone who thinks "arsen" is a crime.

Their T&Cs don't break any constitutional clauses, else they'd be in courts right now.

They are in the courts. There was a high profile verdict just last week.

You may have also noticed several countries interviewing facebook representatives so they can figure out their own laws. Zuck himself came here to the UK to be grilled by UK ministers. Who seem to have some very high expectations in facebook implementing 1984 style censorship on this side of the pond.

If your right that social media is a private publishing service like a newspaper, then they will be sued for libel on an hourly basis.

Looking at what politicians have been saying here in the UK, that is how I expect European social media to be classified.

We already have ministers telling facebook that it has to make sure facebook only posts 'the truth' even though they cant agree between themselves what the truth is.

I hope it goes the other way in the US and the recent verdict certainly goes in the right direction.

sage for slightly offtopic, but the privacy policy for this site: myanimelist.net/about/privacy_policy

is blatantly orwellian without them even try to brush anything under the rug. many other sites and services have updated their policy also and lots of them are just as blatantly in-your-face about their disregard for your privacy.

Safe harbour laws. If they were publishing stuff themselves it'd be different, but they get away with what their users write.

>>14853932

>It's about a being a public forum

But it's not. I don't get what you're missing here.

Twitter is NOT a public forum, however anyone can access it. They reserve the right to remove any ACCOUNT from their service, but they cannot prevent a person logged out, without an account from accessing their publicly displayed tweets.

Trump posts OFFICIAL information as an ELECTED OFFICIAL. He cannot, under US law, prevent a US citizen from accessing this information.

You could argue that he isn't as they can just log out of their accounts to see the information, but the sentiment still remains that he blocked someone from accessing information all US citizens have a legal right to witness.

Before you start up again, it may be his private account, but he has posted official information on it ahead of proper channels, and his team has stated anything in his tweets is an official statement. This makes it a decree from the Executive Office, so all citizens have a right to view it. Even if he blocks them 4 years from now and doesn't make another official tweet up to that point, he is still preventing them from accessing the tweets he made in the present day.

Hell, there may be a basis for him to not be allowed to block anyone even after his terms as President are through.

The same goes for all US elected officials, such as senators. I don't know if the law applies to non-elected persons, such as the Director of the FBI.

>>14853982

The law states that elected officials can't hide their public statements. Individuals and companies are free to do so.

And no, you can't post whatever you like underneath his tweets, as they're still separate from his original tweet and can be removed without any problem.

>>14854041

>President can't hid his statements but private individuals can hide them.

>doesn't know what a "public forum" means

You're retarded, read the ruling. The whole point is in the ruling is that people should be able to reply, it's not about viewing. it has nothing to do with viewing tweets.

It's a First Amendment ruling.

>>14854079

If I have a private party with the President, I can choose who to invite and kick out anyone acting in a way I don't like.

>I'm sick to fucking death hearing normalfags cry about "COMPANIES STEALING MY DATA".

Normalfags don't cry about it, they just happily use faceberg and normalfaggram, the same as you probably.

They usually make dumb fucking arguments like you as a way to justify their bad behavior too.

>>14854125

Well, i guess you wouldn't fear anything if i'l donate Mark some money to upload in this thread your entire post history.

Same reason. Don't forget they are targeting political motives too, and "toxic behavior" now. People who bought tons of games for PSN and STEAM can get banned for saying "nigger".

>>14854125

Because you retarded nigger, silicon valley is a psuedo government entity at this point and the fourth amendment should apply.

I'm not justifying it, I just couldn't care less. My life is not affected in any tangible way by cookies or metrics. Caring about shit like this is for people who have nothing better to do with their life than whine.

>>14854135

Go ahead, I don't give a fuck. I've never been under any delusion I run the risk of having someone catalog all my posts in a dirty little folder somewhere, I just don't care. I have better uses of my time than crying about shit that doesn't matter.

>>14854136

>muh constitution

Name me one single fucking way your life has been negatively affected by websites "spying" on you. And I mean an actual fucking good reason, not just whining about how you're being spied on. If you don't want to be spied on don't use the internet, simple.

>>14854158

Amazon called the fucking cops to my neighbors property because they thought he was raping his wife AT THREE IN THE FUCKING MORNING.

>>14854158

>I'll give you a hint: Cambridge Analytica

So? Obama did the same thing. They don't give a shit about it and still use Faceberg.

The media just used it to attack Drumpf for a few days.

Most people are literal goyim and so the media is what convinces them what to vote for what to get upset or not get upset over.

> I just couldn't care less. My life is not affected in any tangible way by cookies or metrics

Gross, probably some atheist weedsmoker who watches Dick and normalfag.

Fix your life faggot

>>14854170

What the fuck are you on about?

>>14854182

>Gross, probably some atheist weedsmoker who watches Dick and normalfag.

I spend my days enjoying things I like, I don't waste my time crying about things I both have no control over and that don't actually affect my life in any way that actually matters.

>>14854186

Amazon

Recorded my neighbors whipping eachother at THREE IN THE GODDAMN MORNING and called the fucking police on them.

They're the ONLY two people in the house and NEITHER of them could have called the police at the time nor could anyone reasonable have heard them since they have nearly an acre of land.

The only Reasonable explanation that could possibly serve to reason that the police both knew what was potentially going on there and justifiable information to warrant a home inspection was that their Amazon Echo had recorded them while they were having sex and called the police. Echos and Alexa BOTH have VOIP-Phone capability and can call actual phones.

>>14854214

And for the record, if a company can be denied the right to stick a microphone on their own phone booth THAT THEY OWN MIND YOU, THIS IS ACTUALLY HARDWARE THE COMPANY HASN'T SOLD TO SOMEONE. Tech companies shouldn't have the right to develop, or utilize illicit data collection methods on their customers.

And this law should EXPLICITLY FORBID attempted usage of a EULA to steal the rights of an end user. Like so many companies attempt to do even though legally speaking, they can't.

>>14854214

So throw the fucking Echo in the bin.

It's a useless lump of metal anyway. The problem isn't amazon spying on you, it's their shitty hardware thinking you're giving it a voice command. Do you seriously think there's a dedicated section of code or team of people at amazon who's job it is is to spy on people commiting rape? No, the machine fucked up because it's a cheap piece of shit.

>>14854248

Oh yeah, I'm so sure THWAP THWAP AAAAAH FUCK! sounds like "Alexa"

>>14854242

>companies shouldn't have the right to develop, or utilize illicit data collection methods on their customers.

But they do, so quit crying and just don't use their services if it bothers you so much you fucking baby. I'm not saying I'm fine with the government leering over my shoulder watching my internet history but there's a world of difference between that and the current state of things where companies like Amazon go "oh what's all this, you've been browsing for kit kats have you you cheeky fat fuck. Here look at this new peanut butter kit kat, buy it you chunky monkey". Which is all they're actually doing, you know.

They're not the illuminati, they're just trying to milk more money out of you. But as an ADULT, you have the ability to say no to things. So if you don't like amazon, don't use their products. Whining to the courts that they should be slapped on the ass is both a waste of time and completely pointless.

>>14854261

To a human ear no. To a primitive ai that recognises speech based on vague input data then yeah "AIIIIIIYEAAAAAH" could reasonably sound like "alexa" to a machine. It's $100, it's a dogshit piece of tech that is dumb as fuck. It's going to make mistakes like thinking orgasmic moaning is a request to call the police.

>>14854242

>>14854248

>>14854261

>>14854271

>>14854284

It isn't a mistake. Alexa actually calls the police if it thinks there's domestic abuse happening.

That's not the issue and you know it you fucking piece of shit.

>>14854308

>threatened to kill the woman before he allegedly asked: “Did you call the sheriffs?”

>The question was inadvertently picked up by the smart speaker and the voice-powered virtual assistant recognized the phrase as a command — prompting it to call 911

Are you braindead? You just proved me right, the shitbox fucked up and thought it was being asked to call the police. End of story.

>>14853598

They are already here. The law is called GDPR of the EU, you dumb nigger. Ireland, Spain, France, Sweden are all part of the EU.

>>14854316

No, the issue is people like you who aren't content to admit "yeah I'm a worthless human being who doesn't matter but that's ok I'm gonna enjoy myself as much as possible anyway" and instead try to bandwagon on a cause so you can feel some semblance of meaning in your empty life. You want to feel part of change, like you're doing something to influence the world, like you matter.

Just pull your head out of your ass and get on with your life, it's honestly pathetic how many people devote their entire lives to whining and bitching about meaningless bullshit when they could be enjoying the things that make them happy in life. Play a fucking video game, I guarantee it's a better use of your time than scaremongering about Amazon. You don't matter, they don't care, you won't change anything. Get over yourself.

>>14854346

Nigger, I don't have delusions of grandeur of who I am. I am suggesting for a reasonable level of privacy which COMPANIES ARE ALREADY LEGALLY REQUIRED UNDER PENALTY OF FINE OR INCARCERATION REQUIRED TO GIVE YOU.

>>14854366

And I'm telling you to use common sense and accept people bend and break the law where they can and you have to use your own judgement to decide whether that matters to you.

If it does, don't use their services or interact with them. Amazon is not the only online retailer, nobody is forcing you to buy from them. It's really as simple as that, you're just being a child and whining until you get your way which will never happen.

>>14854406

>Just accept losing your rights to privacy guy

You're entitled to shit all, a piece of paper doesn't mean shit to anyone no matter what you were raised to believe.

>It's only natural that people are gonna break the law, so you shouldn't even care

By all means care, but unless you dedicate your life to that cause. And I mean your every waking minute, then you're just pissing in the sea, you might as well have not bothered at all for all the change you'll cause. A million people half assing things by making a tweet doesn't change shit compared to one guy who makes it his life mission to fucking end you. And you clearly aren't that guy.

>You shop at amazon Which means you support their illicit data collection, it couldn't have ANYTHING to do with the fact they are the biggest online retailer there is. No you support every practice because you bought a bag of jerky from them one time.

Well if you KNOW they spy on you and you CONTINUE to buy from them, and you KNOW you don't like that then why should anyone give a fuck about what you have to say? It's like walking down rape alley in a miniskirt after being raped 10 times then crying out "HELP I'M BEING RAPED".

>nevermind this affects people that aren't even their customers that happen to be within recording distance of an Alexa device

Your fault for being around the kind of drooling retards that buy those things

Looks like this place is Cuckchan now, a fate worse than death.

Mark if you're reading this, call Jim and tell him to do the right thing and delete the site already.

>>14850803

They always did that and the new EU law is just gonna make everything more bothersome but won't actually change anything

This. Most people who complain about it are conspiracy theorists who think the government is out to get them. The reality is that companies are simply using customer data for marketing purposes.

It was Marsh's choice to enter private property, yet the court ruled in her favour. I don't know US law, but I guess it can be extrapolated that if the only way to reach specific people or a group of people is private, it is then considered public space and all speech is free speech.
