ummm......
nah... they will implement filters
facebook thought they met the rules for GDPR.... and was then hit with a bunch of lawsuits they now need to pay to deal with.
btw just came across this article that might interest creators:
it would easier for them to either drop the EU, or disable all links, delete anything with x.xx, and not allow uploads
small lawsuits against billions they might pay EU
its their politics ... implement rules through money pressure...
there is 710 mil ppl in EU28
thats it?
just to put my conspiracy hat on for a sec... I wonder if the EU wanted US businesses like twitter and facebook to stop working in the EU, so an EU alternative could appear
they are incredibly protectionist
at this rate, china might be easy for facebook to get into, and more financially beneficial
wacka i think not... to much debate and opinions crossing the pond
fuck, investing in infrastructure in india might a better investment than changes this drastic to their system.
ppl became restless
@wacka no, socialist just don't understand that business are not made of free money (just like they don't understand the people they tax are not a piggy bank either), and that changes cost money. both for the government and companies.
its opposite acctually... repressing new players more likely... policy, platforms, media etc
global players established... no need for new distruptive patterens to appear i guess
my conspiracy theory hat 😉
however, given how potentially far reaching, it could put most internet sites out of business. which could, in theory, result in pressures from all over the world to repeal their policy.
also could lead to some sites boycotting the EU.
proactivity is always better than reacting... as now.... if you are proactive you prepare all that necessary for your idea... others can only be cought offguard and hastly react + not forsee all consequencess
i wonder what the potential for international fallout might be.
i mean, with GDPR, most people were more or less fine with it. But fair use? that is controversial. People are always pushing that boundary
and the US failing media?
anyway internet infuencers should talk about it since they are the ones under attack the most.... others will survive... that is why there is silence about it
well private buisness can do what they like in US
so if forced somewhere else...
and it benefits main actors in US also
and risk UK actors uploading using VPNs or Spoofing to get around UK law?
this entire act is to hold the hosts of the information, not the uploaders, liable
if they allow anything with a UK copyright to be uploaded, they are fucked
it will be implemented accross internet... no matter what... wait.. wil find some articles about this...
you just said they can do what they like in the US, yet admit they wont
i'm agreeing here
but the US failing media don't have the money to get around this stuff and in youtube/facebook/twitter/google add these filters, they will have major problems.
can't find rly good reference to this discusion but I found this article instead that might help in the future for posting without platforms:
oh and you are right.. fb didn't implement gdpr to all users:
Having said it would follow GDPR “in spirit”, Facebook’s actions tell a different story. On Wednesday Reuters reported that the company would change its terms of service so that its 1.5 billion non-European users would no longer be covered by the privacy law. Until now, all users outside of the US and Canada have been governed by terms of service agreed with the company’s international headquarters in Ireland. Since any user data processed in Ireland will soon fall under GDPR, Facebook is changing the agreement so users in Africa, Asia, Australia and Latin America are governed by more lenient US privacy laws.
Where it needs to comply with GDPR, Facebook seems to have focused its efforts on getting user consent for its data collection practices () rather than reducing the data it collects. It has developed a sequence of consent requests that explicitly outline how each type of data will be used. However, as the company has designed these requests in a way that makes it harder to opt out than opt in.
