    Are you aware Meta keeps paying larger and larger fines each year for failing to comply with gdpr in Facebook? Last one was 1.3 BILLION. they just keep doing it.

      He’s just trying to win some more bread for Europe. Eventually everything will be fully subsidized by fines on American companies.

      Oh, I’m very aware. My own (EU!) company has ISO certifications that “guarantee” our customers that all their data is perfectly protected.

      It is not. We, among other things, have plaintext user/password combos in scripting. Certain logs are certainly not being processed lawfully.

      It’s also not so bad as to be terrible but it still irks me a lot that we’re essentially lying to our users.
