Highlighting the recent report of users and admins being unable to delete images, and how Trust & Safety tooling is currently lacking.
Oh hey it’s the article that drove me to become a sponsor of the lemmy project, for every demand and complaint there are many of us who are in solidarity with Lemmy devs and I’m happy to provide material support. This isn’t a business and this is a website to use for fun. There is no way GDPR would ever apply to this, it would require a complaint with merit and the instance owners to refuse to cooperate. There are no enforcement actions on GDPR against private individuals that don’t also include criminal charges in the EU. You can literally look up every GDPR enforcement action.
Also it’s March not February
GDPR applies to any entity that processes personal data. That includes instance owners. In fact of you look up GDPR enforcements you can that it’s also enforced against private persons.
suck my balls
Maybe you should reread what you wrote? You said there’s no way GDPR would ever apply. I said it does. You said there are no enforceable actions, there are. the part you thought makes you right is the “criminal charges” part but that makes zero sense to begin with because GDPR, as an EU wide regulation, imposes only fines and no criminal charges.
GDPR absolutely applies to Lemmy, it’s just that nobody has looked at it / there wasn’t a complaint. When that happens, lemmy will be in trouble.
It isn’t that it doesn’t “apply” it is that there won’t be any enforcement. These are different concepts. The world involves risk assessment and this is a risk I’d take.
There will be enforcement if one asshole reports instances. Are you certain nobody will get disgruntled and report it?
