@transience

also you could probably weasel it into this

sad to inform you but your training sucked, @Goz3rr they do are "personal data" but not all processing needs consent

https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/28603/gdpr-and-ip-address-logging/28609#28609

thats quite good chatter about the gdpr (took me while to find it)

due its necessary to keep some logs and stuff

so banlists by IP .. yes .. but by username ... not so much really

its those grey waters what time will only show us how things go

i just had chatter about this with customer who raised same question.. i needed to ask my own lawyer about it and even he didnt know due it all depends on how and why its processed

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm just relaying what i was told at work

yeah your trainer probly meant "as long as the IP cant be connected to any persons other data its fine"

the first moment you can connect "this username comes from this IP" its tracking under gdpr

you can always do that

so

i also asked my lawyer about wiresharking networks

if the "live feed" what is not logged to anything counts as tracking

as person technicaly could filter and check user actions on it

lawyers answer to that "dont ask dont tell"

hard things

besides why does it matter exactly

every game these days requires you to agree with eula

just add a paragraph

already has a checkbox

eula is not enforceable on europe

as nobody reads those

as are TOS ses

you can sell your child on those and nobody can come and demand it later

then add a second window who cares

indeed that would be an option normaly

but does it count as "aproval" if user does it out of habit

hello guys

I succeeded at 60% of my exams for now

Last two are tomorrow and wednesday

@Tervy literally anything you do will turn into habit because everyone will now do it

_here solve this crossword puzzle and answer 3 quiz questions about this_

@Goz3rr indeed here lies the problem what when solved aproval of data gathering will drop like a stone

as people need to make informed decisions about it

and that makes them think

sadly users dont like to think they like to do
