> The EU isn't a super-state True whatever that means :) > and EU law isn't applied by some overarching entity. It is. EU law as a whole is ultimately applied by an entity, the Cou…

My guess is that Mozilla only looked at the US market, and the article does not mention that this is US-only.

Here's how it goes: You develop X and distribute it to B. B modifies X (becomes X.1) and because B has been well advised by lawyers, B knows that modification of software is an act…

The analysis is wrong even if we accept the flawed premise presented (whether in US or French law). Section 13 of the AGPL which is the one the author says is ineffective starts: "…

Random post on the internet by what seems a a nonlawyer. Be careful. "The AGPL, like the GPL, is a copyright licence, not a contract" actual authoriative legal source needed. For w…

There are no personalised ads or no ads at all in WhatsApp, are there? What got rejected is using the data for "service improvement" and "security" - in particular how WhatsApp use…

So many wrong things in this comment, which is generally uncalled for given the article is quite good (which cannot be said of all GDPR related coverage). So, duty calls[1]: > This…

I doubt you actually asked any lawyers who know this stuff. While GDPR did raise the threshold of valid consent, the interpretation before the GDPR was nowhere near what you descri…

The judgment is here: https://noyb.eu/files/CJEU/judgment.pdf Start at page 28 if you want to skip the recap of EU law, or start at page 35 if you want to skip the details of US la…

Yes. Check out https://gdprhub.eu/ The most important fine so far is against Google (50 million EUR - for France only, not for the whole of the EU territory). [CNIL info in English…

Sorry that it's not clear. Happy to take suggestions for clearer language. Maybe this part should just be removed as it is maybe a bit off topic. I am trying to lay out what princi…

Hi - author of the post here. The points in the post are really about GDPR basics . I'm not actually trying to explain or interpret anything. Instead, I am mostly paraphrasing, if …

That's because the newspaper and the search engine have very different kinds of activities when it comes to processing data. In 2014, this is how the Court explains it (my emphasis…

This comes from a [EU Court 2014 Ruling][1] based on Spain's implementation of European Union Directive 95/46 from 1995 which has nothing to do with what you're talking about. [1]:…
