  • Depends very much on the instances and connected instances you interact with.

    I haven’t seen it excessively or broadly in the way you describe. I’ve seen strong one-sided and often ideological or presumptuous opinions on some tech topics, which may not be deliberate or orchestrated propaganda, but kinda works the same.

    If you want to look into or try a save space, take a look at beehaw.org.

    Otherwise, I’d check your instance’s policies and whether they disconnect from certain other Lemmy instances.

    Regarding your self-perception, given your thoughtful, well-formulated, and mindful text here, I believe you that your comments were mindful and not excessively wrong or disrespectful.

    It probably is legal and if you follow the money I’m willing to be there is some lobbying form who argued to get a provision like this snuck into GDPR during some backroom deal.

    No, it’s not legal.

    Seems like you’re making stuff up to match your broad views instead of checking or reading wherever. Which would be one thing if it’s just for your own views, but you’re unjustly propagating misinformation and system distrust.

    At the latest at the time of the first communication with the data subject, the right referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be explicitly brought to the attention of the data subject and shall be presented clearly and separately from any other information.

    1The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. 2That obligation applies to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility. 3In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual’s intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons.

    More explanation what that means specifically on https://gdpr-info.eu/issues/consent/


    Sorry if my response sounds harsh or unjustified. We’re on a public platform after all where people share their views and understanding. It just pains me to read misinformation on such a good thing amongst less good things.

    Regarding the subscription or consent choice I’ve read multiple times that it was ruled illegal. I’m confused why is still practiced.
