...gewaltig bergab. Gerichtliche Durchgriffsrechte hat man über die #GDPDR / #DSGVO nicht mehr.
Das alleine schon wäre, bei aller technischen Innovation, für mich schon ein k.o.-Kriterium.

Und warum sollte ich das für eine weitere nicht-FOSS-Lösung risikieren?

Außer der etwas zu Trump-freundlichen Einstellung eines Verwaltungsratsmitglieds & dem nicht-FOSS-Ansatz sehe ich bislang beim schon ziemlich verbreiteten #Threema keine gravierenden Nachteile.

Gerne.

Ich war bislang auch eher gegen einen #DigitalenEuro.
Da man jedoch bargeldlose Zahlungen nicht vermeiden kann--und viele dies auch gar nicht wollen (-> #Convenience-Orientierung, Bsp. #Skandinavien mit extrem hohen Nutzerquoten) ist es definitiv besser, den #Datenschutz und die #Datensicherheit in der #EuropäischenUnion zu regeln, anstatt dies den großen #US-Multis zu überlassen, zumal diese im Zweifel meißt auch mit #US-Behörden kooperieren und nicht nur, ohne #GDPDR.

#Security nightmare:

#Microsoft’s new #Windows11 feature, #Recall, makes the #SciFi movie #TotalRecall almost look like a fairy tale by comparison.

Everything you ever saw or wrote on your device, even if deleted, will remain in definitely remain available and searchable for users of the device, including #hackers.
Opting out requires work.

Also, in my view, I doubt that it is #GDPDR compliant in its current form.
Beware.

Excellent analysis:

...at that moment. Huge communities (e. g. #LGBTQIA+) came here not to be harassed by MAGATs et al.
Changing the fine print might not work either, as this constitutes a major change and could be considered an invalid surprise clause in many countries.

Erring on the wrong side of #GDPDR (#DSGVO) might prove costly when decided upon by the #CJEU some years in the future.

I'd say opting for #OptOut as an instance might be a considerable business risk.

Absolutely not!
However, hardly anyone will stop #Elmo from doing what he set out to do, burning billions in the process.
He is on target, IMO, but this will, as explained, facilitate the job of a non-GQP DOJ from 2025 onwards.
I foresee a huge chunk of right-wing users switching to #Bluesky after #X.

Some people dig their own graves.

BTW, I am not sure if #EU #GDPDR doesn’t prohibit him from doing it in that jurisdiction, but that will not have much impact on US users, I guess.

ATTENTION - important fake #ZOOM #phishing attempt.

Citing EU #GDPDR rules and looking like a standard notification of ToS, the #cybercriminal has invested a lot of work in the quite authentic looking website.
Block the domain and inform your IT security.
Good luck!

Also; ZOOM changed its Terms of Service on 04/01/2023. - You have now agreed that they may use all your data generated while using their app, including the training of LLMs. Check the ToS, Sect.10

The erstwhile "Don't be evil"-Company is joined by the #RottenApple to destroy the WWW as we know it.

If #Google has its way, people using older devices or special-needs browsers might not be able to access many websites anymore.
Also, the way the author and I see it, this way to use Personally Identifyable Information (#PII) might be in breach of data-privacy laws in some countries, in particular the #EU's #GDPDR.

Take precautions:
#Meta joins the #Fediverse

Today, I have reposted toots about the many data abuses #Meta has already committed.

Alas, my instance, mastodon.social, has not responded what they intend to do about #Project92, aka #Threads (i.e. #defederate).

The #CJEU's published a damning ruling on 07/05/23 that all its practices regarding data collection contravene #GDPDR.

I have therefore decided to at least block the presently over 2.500 instances that...
