> Ie, if you send IP addresses today to AWS, you could be deemed to be doing something illegal overnight subject to 4% of global revenue or 20 million euro fines.
If you are breaking the law, if a regulator finds out, you may be deemed to be doing something illegal overnight. Yes, that’s how everything works everywhere. What is worrying you now? The sound of a GDPR breach in a forest where nobody can hear it?
> Under the FDA or any US agency, you have an option to appeal to an independent branch of government whose decisions are binding.
Of course you can file an appeal, just use Google, you’ll find plenty, some successful and some not.
> Here, we see the opposite take place in France. Lawlessness. Monarchy. Being run through the bureaucracy. You can’t even bring yourself to admit that the CNIL arrogantly brushed off effectively the SUPREME COURT OF ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE. You say it’s a “mistake”?? Are you fucking kidding me? Deliberately doing to opposite of what your oversight agency rules is abuse of power.
You are getting fixated on a very minor case of French administrative law, that you didn’t even care to understand. The ICO made a minor mistake in considering all cookie walls illegal. The Council of State said that they can’t make a blanket ban, but that they should evaluate all cookie walls individually. No fine has been annulled and the ICO can still deem your cookie wall illegal. So still no monarchy for you.
> Anyone with half a brain will be aghast at what is happening is the EU
Anyone with a half brain will at least spend some time understanding the issue at hand before getting excessively agitated.
Either you don’t understand technology or you’re a dunce. You’ve made a strong case for both in this thread.
By admitting data flows to us resources are illegal, you’ve just said that what you’re doing right now can be construed as illegal activity on the part of the website you’re on. HN is indeed hosted on us resources. You touch Microsoft excel and guess what? Us resources get your personal data.
So you’ve just basically admitted that under GDPR, all regular internet activity is illegal if it touches a US server. Hence “coverage”. Hence, everyone living under really, the discretion of the monarchs.
Thanks for playing. Dumbass.
"Dunce", "dumbass". You lost this argument a long time ago - hurling insults and epithets tends to have that effect. But I'm sure you'll press on, and invoke Hitler soon.
> guess what? Us resources get your personal data.
From posting to HN? AFAIAA, HN only gets your IP address. GA gets your search history, which is a bit different.
Lol, the person above you admitted that IP addresses are enough to put you in violation.
It doesn't matter post that statement what your conclusions are. You have opened up every business to a liability of 4% global earnings or 20 million Euros WHICHEVER IS GREATER. . .at the sheer discretion of some illiterate fucks like yourself in Brussels.
