Yeah, there may be a legal difference, and there has to be a point where the majority starts to say: Hey! That's wrong! I think the fundamental difference is null. Or maybe I am ju…

I like to think that Google is just not a conventional company and that they do everything to not become one. They creatively solve challenges (like how to keep certain cookies whe…

If the police can tie the IP to a person, then it "can be tied". Some courts decided before GDPR that IP addresses can't convincingly be enough to tie a person to a crime committed…

It depends on the purpose / if you have a legitimate need to store them. Are you storing IP's for a certain time, so you can discover and investigate attacks? > include preventing …

If you remove from index... sure. But for that URL that I posted, do you think there is even a single false positive in there?

From the original pitch deck: > thefacebook.com allows for targeted advertisement on the basis of any (or a combination of) the following parameters: > College/University, Sexual O…

To me it seems all the work of the same spammer(s). In such a case, do some manual intelligence and wrap it up. It won't scale to all forms of spam, but if a simple regex can uncov…

Actually, shortly after I learned that Google switched to neural networks for search results, I noticed an old style of spam making a huge comeback: Either markov chain or neural n…
