Just vassal states things.
Act tough on press, but gargle US balls behind doors.
How is this not a violation of GDPR?! "Homeland Security" doesn't need the data, this is thousands of people for under 5 possible threats at most... this is fucking stupid! The game of bribery and backdoor deals of monetizing data keeps spreading, huh?
The only thing that makes the EU bureaucracy seem like it's functional are competing national interests. When all nations are being targeted by foreign automated propaganda through their social networks to promote shifts in their governments to allow this sort of bull, it doesn't even matter that the US is directly issuing threats against the EU, only just what corrupt long time career politicians can get out of it.
Government is excluded from meeting GDPR requirements. ☺️
Uh? It’s a bit less generic than that… some activities of governments are excluded from the scope but not all data processing from government agencies are.
For example this particular personal data processing likely fits under the prevention of criminal offences and threats to public security and is highly unfortunate but let’s keep shit factual.
Well that's a real kick in the nuts.
Surveillance capitalism will continue the fascist takeover until the whole planet is a totalitarian company town and we are all slaves to big brother; paying a daily subscription to breathe.
I'm not even joking.
What in the actual fuck?!
What the fuck
Ugh... Time and time again we are shown that US corporate shareholder needs dictate massive invasion of privacy and global over reach. Well this won't stand in Europe! Let's see what the EU says about this... Oh. Oh wait 😲.
which they probably already have. Look at that list, and that's only France ☞ https://bonjourlafuite.eu.org/
Fuck! God!! No!!! Please!!!! 😡
They have a long way to go and the demands the EU is making will probably not be met by the US anyway so this will probably never happen.
