I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

Pretty sure that's a violation of fundamental human rights as it's your place of living. Surely that can't be legal, even in the US can it?
It doesn’t mean _inside_ the apartment. It means if they decide to film a commercial and you’re walking your dog in the background, they don’t have to ask you.
If it didn’t say it, it doesn’t mean it.

#63I wonder if anyone who are cheering this fine, actually read and tried to implement GDPR. It is a nightmare to be fully compliant for small companies. It is mostly just a theater (like endless cookie consent dialogs in anonymous browsing), to employ more experts and bureaucrats. EU is now pushing privacy laws that severely undermine privacy.
Yes. It’s very easy actually. People think it’s hard only because they’ve built revenue streams on unethical behavior.

#64Excellent outcome. I wish we had these rights in the USA! Too bad justice took 5 years though.
There are some state laws - California, Virginia and Colorado, a bunch of others. And the SECURE Data Act currently in Congress. https://statescoop.com/house-subcommittee-secure-data-act-pr...

I have read it. It's really easy to be compliant if don't start from a position of extracting the maximum amount of data from every user out there. If you start from the opposite end of the scale, only getting the data you need for the goals you need to achieve in the interest of the user, you barely have to do anything beyond what you would have done anyway.

#66If I did business in the EU, I would be banning this chap from my services on the basis that the risk he poses to the business is too great...
We don't want your business in the EU if this is your attitude to things like this.

Thank goodness you read the contract they signed and provided competent legal expertise throughout the process.

#70Lol. Brookfield Place wifi had an OPT IN for their wifi to receive marketing. If you unclicked it, the 'connect to wifi' button greyed out and a notification appears saying that Opt In is required for wifi.

Yep this. They never make you verify your email address on a captive portals. (Since you can’t check your email without an internet connection in the first place).
