SW rant time

@dustinb3403 said in SW rant time:
That is a completely illogical jump there and I don't appreciate the insinuation of such.
But all of the insinulations that we are breaking a law we are not covered by, that money is being made, that we operate illegally in Europe, that deleting accounts means deleting content over time... those are okay when they are not logical. But using your own logic, that makes you upset? If YOUR logic makes YOU upset, there isn't much that I can do.

@DustinB3403 ever gotten a new job since joining ML? You are covered by making money. You have, so you are.
None of my posting has driven to job change.
This is like saying that reading and learning about IT hasn't affected your IT career. Everything you do affects your career, everything. Some things are negatives, like playing video games instead of working. Some are positives, like reading books about IT or participating in IT discussions.
If you've had job change, how can that not be affected by the career activities in which you are involved?

What's up with all those deleted posts?

@DustinB3403 figured out that what he posted didn't make sense and is deleting what he said.

Explain this to me, let's say I have a computer repair forum. I do not block any countries at all, so everyone in the world that can access the site, can sign up. Let's say a user from Africa signs up, let's say Africa has a certain law about the internet forbidding some kind of content that is on my website. How does Africa enforce it's laws on me here in Texas (United States?)

He thinks he is proving that you can delete posts that you own. But that was never discussed and of course, you can.

In theory, but how many data service providers do you think keep all the data on the back end and just remove the links to the front end display?

But you've already quoted them in your replies.

Basically, it is just layers and layers of confusion.
He thinks that by demonstating my point that he is proving his. He didn't realize that he just demonstrated what I was saying at the very beginning.

Basically all.

@scottalanmiller The same thing applies to former employees who stored personally data on company computers?
-
@dustinb3403 said in SW rant time:
The right to be forgotten means we don't get to ask those kinds of questions though.
If I chose to close my account, that data has to go away at some point. Not immediately, but at some point.So here is the post that Dustin is trying to prove, but actually disproved because he was confused. The point was that you can only delete posts while you still have an account. He still has an account, therefore can delete posts. Had he removed his account, his posts would be locked in place.
My point, exactly.

They don't even need to remove links. Employee data is something you are generally required to maintain. You certainly don't delete it.

Transactions that happen in Mangolassi would be covered by US law because when you post on Mangolassi that is where it is hosted. I buy my house water filers from a company in Idaho. I live in Illinois. I can sue that company if I wanted in Idaho state court or in Federal court because it is commerce across state lines. I cannot sue them in Illinois court. They don't have a business presence in Illinois and are not required to comply with Illinois law. As the consumer, I am aware of this, I always look for where the person/business is that I am about to buy from is located. Someone in Spain who uses the internet and accesses something, not in their country is agreeing to use Mangolassi which is governed by US law and not EU. A person using the internet to access something in America is no different if they used a plane to come to American and do business either way they are covered under US law

Isn't this how the piratebay worked for so many years? It kept moving it's data to countries where there were no pirating laws or where laws were lax?

Correct.

I think @DustinB3403 was confused about the EU laws because the new directive wants to focus on protecting EU citizen PHI even outside of country borders when possible. Even companies only based in the US must comply with EU standards for PHI. Obviously the United States and the EU came to an agreement for this to happen, and it isn't a given right with every country in the world. It's not like the EU can go after North Korea or other countries that don't have agreements.

US companies don't even need to comply with US standards! That's why we have HIPAA, to ensure that they don't.

I love how so many people think they are experts on GDPR when even the people who wrote the GDPR rules can't clearly explain them. This goes both for people who fully assert that EU rules are enforceable abroad as well as those who couldn't imagine a world where that would be true.
Also love how only the first 10 posts related to the initial SW rant. Hahaha
Popcorn getting stale...I'm just here to watch the show.
