What is the issue with the GDPR? If OpenAI is violating the GDPR, why should European governments ignore it?

In the beginning of GDPR I remember me sitting in annoying meetings with lawyers who essentially became Product Owners and designers while I still thought the GDPR-Framework makes sense in itself and might help in practice. But boy was I wrong. The people criticizing GDPR were right: Tech giants were able to cope better with the regulations while smaller domestic companies were put under an additional burden of exces…

I've been observing this space and a lot of those smaller companies didn't bother to ensure personal data is safe, so it's not like they're the victims here.

There was already one large crackdown on non-compliant cookie banners, and even large entities had to stop fooling around and implement them properly.

The leftovers need to be picked up one by one, but that necessarily takes time.

It should be much easier for us to select "don't use my data" on anything we own - Github accounts, websites, anything that has our real identity attached to it.

I love everything about this. As usual EU leads the way in protecting people's privacy.

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.

What pisses me off is that some legitimate websites like project goutenberg are all blocked by my Internet provider in Italy and I have to go through a VPN to access them. Same for scribd, vdoc, libgen and so on.

Just change the dns.

Would a small child or plumber know when GPT generates something that’s legally incorrect?

Same risk when using actual lawyer

But not the same need.

With a real lawyer almost all the time what they tell me will be legally correct, so if I don't know how to recognize when something is not legally correct that will almost never hurt me.

From what I've seen of people's posts of ChatGPT output it is much more likely to provide incorrect legal advice, and so using it without having a way to recognize incorrect legal advice is much more likely to hurt me.

Books are under control, children can not enter a library and get Adult books. The internet in general can have filters and many Parents activate personal firewalls for this purpose. Even Google has safeSearch that filters results for explicit adult or violent content. ChatGpt right now does not have these "parental controls". yes you can bypass most of them but you need to know technical details. they can not be byp…

> Books are under control, children can not enter a library and get Adult books. What kind of dystopian library do you go to? Kids can get what they like where I am.

Really? Kids can get Porn Magazines and Novels where you are? Controling if material is suitable is dystopian for you?

To be fair this as nothing to do with the idiotic lab meat ban. It’s actually not even a ban, just a “ban on collecting data from Italian users without a proper disclosure” with a 2 months deadline to comply.

there are frameworks in place for this already, like GDPR. my comment is not about it being related in any way, it shows how you can see a certain decision making process, that is hostile to anything new

This _is_ the GDPR at work here.

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.

Sounds pretty great to me. Might be because I'm not a drug addict though.

It’s mostly self checkouts, so yes, if the library has the book. They wouldn’t have porn magazines.

Or they can read it there, or they can take it to the counter and get it out via the librarian.

There are also computers for use, though I assume they have filters/blockers/restrictions.
