Singapore actually does drug tests on random Singaporeans returning from holidays to enforce exactly that.

Singapore has to be one of the worst places to live. I don't care how 'nice' their society might seem, their overstep is too steep by far. "Custom officers can subject travellers to a drug screening test at the point of entry to Singapore. If you test positive for drugs, you can be arrested and prosecuted, even if the drugs were consumed prior to your arrival in the country." That's insanity.

Writing from rome, italy. These bureaucrats only pretend to work. The number of privacy violations in italy is staggering, i have to take 10 calls a day from power companies because they have access to all the phone number of anybody who has a gas or energy contract. I had to change phone numbers. Meanwhile they are going against a service that as far as i know does not even require your name to serve you.

Let's not forget that these people, not a long time ago, worked hand-in-hand with the government to promote contact tracing applications at a time where it was clear that they could potentially be used to steal data from their users.

As a European, it was nice being able to participate for a while. See you in 20 years.

Nah, this is a good move. These huge companies need to stops behaving like they own the world.

These huge governments need to stop behaving like they own the citizens

They can always just sell via their US site, and the onus would be on the EU to block the site within their borders. Although realistically no big company would really do this.

One tried the reverse and its CEO went to jail.

As you would expect. What is your point here?

Italian developer here, who frequently uses ChatGPT Pro I, as an EU resident citizen, have the right to know where MY data goes: Basically with GDPR the user must be informed clearly, as concisely as possible, in terms understandable even to a layman, about where his data ends up, giving active consent to its use (in this case consent has no inertia) After the data breach on March 20, the Italian authority opened an…

They have a privacy policy like any other business which explains what they do with the data.

'exposes "minors to absolutely unsuitable answers compared to the their degree of development and self-awareness."' So do (certain) books. That's another issue right? If you let your minor access stuff, they.. access stuff. Hard to control? I know and it is. How is this specific to OpenAI?

> How is this specific to OpenAI?

it's not, that's why there are consent thingies on websites (e.g. when you could not sign up for instagram as a minor).

I don't know what strange thing the regulator found in chatgpt, but it's pretty standard.

That link doesn't really show anything useful. I'll wait to see how it holds up when the EU tries to enforce it against a US website with no presence of any kind in the EU.

> I'll wait to see how it holds up when the EU tries to enforce it against a US website with no presence of any kind in the EU. That's called moving the goalposts. But even in that case: the EU has a lot of power and no matter what you are still required to have a legal presence in the EU if you want to serve EU customers. Breaking the law is generally not the best course of action for any company that wants to stay…

Usually this way of thinking is called "benaltrismo".

I saw you commented something like this in this thread

How would you call that?
