Probable course of action is MSFT implementing a hotfix in the next 3-6 months, that will be nowhere near to address the topic.
Another 2 years of EDPS investigation.
Then MSFT will release another patch 3-6 months after that actually solves the issue.
But in the meantime, they would have implemented another mechanism to spy on users.
Rince and repeat.
Article 3 GDPR is straightforward, gdpr will apply.
The real question is how any kind of authority could enforce it ? Almost no chance that any law enforcement/regulator will bother a single-user instance purely on the ground of gdpr...
I’m not so sure about the GDPR status for the Fediverse, I don’t think there’s the law is prepared for “Jerry runs this for people, just for fun”. It’s very much “official organisation” or “money grabbing business” oriented. Someone should fund an actual lawyer to look into this and lay down the real requirements.
I'm working in the gdpr compiance field ;) Using a personnal device to monitor public space doesn't fall under the household exception, this solution even pre-dates the GDPR (https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2014-12/cp140175en.pdf).
(the case-law is about camera fixed on a private house, but the logic easily translates in a private server grabbing public data).
but when legal compliance comes up, everybody just sticks their fingers in their ears and pretends not to hear you.
Just as you did ^^
No, Lemmy servers are not exempt from GDPR compliance. The household exemption (you are not subject to gdpr for private activities) only applies for purely personnal activities. As soon as a service is offered to someone else, the exemption is no more applicable.
That's one of the drawback about open-source projects, they are designed to fulfill a need (persistent storage & decentralised communication for Lemmy), and no one give a f*ck about legalities.
Just to clarify, I'm self-hosting. I'm using neither Proton nor Dropbox.
However, I'm a privacy pro, and I read Privacy Policies on a daily basis (ok.. weekly basis).
The US companies recently moved to disclose ALL the providers they are using (including for controller activities) where European companies still hide this information (and disclose only the providers used to deliver the service). For a very concrete example, Salesforces is mentionned by Dropbox where Proton is silent about the crm they use.
On this specific aspect, the USA are ahead of EU.
That's all I meant.
If you want to read it as "give your data to the USA", feel free, but that's not what I said.
I was not saying "Dropbox good" or "Proton bad", just correcting a few things about the privacy policy in itself and what it means.
Encryption will not protect your privacy in the specific case of Dropbox.
They look into your activity, not files.
And that's pretty much standard for any kind of commercial SaaS, just because of security concerns.
Also, they are quite transparent about the provider they are using for internal activities (Stripe, etc.). Companies in EU will typically not disclose such information. For example, Dropbox disclose the use of AWS (for hosting the infra & code, I guess), whereas Proton does not disclose any hosting company.
2 main reasons in my view:
- windows is the de facto standard for desktop ans users management. So each corp has at least one guy used to the interface to dofirst-level debug
- windows comes with support, not linux. So corps don't want to employe one Linux admin "just in case". That's the main reason I keep hearing from sysadmins I know
Je doute que ce soit des scop, car une scop est réservée aux salariés. SCIC, plutôt.
Mais ça sent quand même le détournement de l'ESS. Fonctionner sur la base du bénévolat sans le récompenser, c'est un peu osé. Qu'une personne y bosse 1h/semaine ou 35h/semaine, ce sera la même pour elle au final. Les éventuels dividendes seront distribués sur la base du nombre d'actions detenues, pas du travail effectivement fourni.
L'article zappe la question principale: en cas de bénéfice (ce qui est visé), qui reçoit les dividendes ? Juste les fondateurs ? Tout le monde ? Sur la base du montant cotisé, ou sur la base du travail effectué ?
Vu de loin, ça ressemble à un concept déjà existant : l'apport en industrie. Plutot qu'apporter de l'argent au capital social d'une entreprise, une personne peut apporter son expertise et reçoit des actions/parts sociales en contrepartie.
Je parle des critères utilisés par l'algorithme, tu me me parles pathos.
J'explique que les critères utlisés ne me semblent pas déconnants au regard des prestations servies, tu y réponds en une demi-phrase lapidaire (critères de merde).
J'ai bien conscience qu'un controle peut mettre salement dans la merde une famille qui y est deja, que les pouvoirs d'investigation sont .. étonnants (pour rester poli) et que la compétence n'est pas le premier mot qui me vient à l'esprit quand on me parle de l'administration publique française.
Mais ce n'est pas le sujet.
On parle de l'algorithme de détection, des possibles biais, et de la balance de pouvoir.
Jouer sur la corde sensible ne mène à rien, car en face d'une famille "faux positif" on va trouver des cocos qui sont inscrits au RSA dans 10 départements différents (véridique. Mais ça a pris fin vers 2010).
