Games SHUT DOWN & Websites on Blackout! GDPR is Here

@JerichoF It's about making sure people are in control of their own data and online privacy. which can ONLY be a good thing, even if it gives a headache short term to many companies.

@DAF_Punk Which I gather, but in light of every other snarky comment about it seeming to revolve around "every social media platform has suddenly updated their terms and we're sick of it," figured the appropriate mood called for the *shake fist* . It's fine, but this is the first place where I've heard/seen it actually said "Here's why you're seeing all these updated terms and why it's relevant."

@JerichoF If they have EU servers then yes but like the video said some companies just said no so no theres just no service for whatever company in the EU.. Unfortunately I still have to deal with all the spam from 10 thousand websites, yet they're still taking my data anyway.. What a pain in the ass for anyone not in the EU.

@JerichoF You should have known, like it was stated this passed 2 years ago and RT and every other tech channel or website has been talking about the looming date of the 25th, This is why it doesnt pay to just straight up ignore politics because they directly affect you as a citizen and even outside of the area for this specific instance as it;s forcing the world to comply but only the EU gets these tools.

@Strudleboy woah 😮 you’re right lol

@MegaKracka It's about making sure people are in control of their own data and online privacy. which can ONLY be a good thing, even if it gives a headache short term to many companies. This really isn't that bizarre, unless you think that not caring if your data gets sold to the highest bidder to exploit as they choose is "normal".

@MegaKracka You know that insurance companies are buying this data and personalising premiums based on what your online data says about you, including your health and your ability to pay - the more money you have the higher your premiums, the worse your reported health the more you have to pay... - they also use it to reject claims you make; do you really need that and that's just the insurance industry; there are plenty of other industries that will try and screw you over with your own online data - GO EU :) - sticking it to data rapists where it hurts; their wallet - greedy dicks.

@AnInconvenientlyLargeDragon Its really not, people willingly sign up for things that data mine, like Twitter and Facebook it's all self inflicted. The best part of it is just being able erase your data, but it;s the internet, it's saved somewhere forever.
