@AlgorithmWolf@ioc.exchange I am not asking what they are doing - I know already what they are doing from a technical perspective; and I am not asking if it is illegal, I already know it is illegal as I am an expert on this particular law, helped to write its replacement and already had confirmation from DG Just (EU Commission) that the law applies in the way I have stated.
I also never said anything about GDPR - this is not a GDPR issue.
But thanks for your input :)
@AlgorithmWolf@ioc.exchange oh and I have a Masters in Law focused on privacy and data protection laws and am an expert advisor to multiple EU institutions on matters of privacy/data protection and cybersecurity law and technologies.
I am also a computer scientist with 30 years experience and a sociologist with my studies focused on the impact of technology on society (with a specific focus on privacy and related human rights) and my computer science degree was a double major with psychology
@AlgorithmWolf@ioc.exchange so I am pretty clued up on these issues (to say the least) and am regarded as one of the foremost experts in the world on this particular law.
As such, please don't try to teach me how to suck eggs :)
