It is now illegal to transmit personal information of EU citizens to cloud infrastructure in the #US as they won't be protected by the #GDPR.
Many European service providers will have to move quickly to avoid fines, but eventually #EU data will be held in the EU, benefiting companies in Europe, and supporting #DigitalSovereignty.
That means AWS, Azure, Google and iCloud can lose a sizeable chunk of their customer base if no moves are made. I am all for it.

#noyb è ora approvata come cosiddetta "entità qualificata" per intentare azioni di ricorso collettivo presso i tribunali di tutta l'Unione Europea. Tale azione ai sensi della direttiva (UE) 2020/1828 può essere un'"ingiunzione" o una misura di "risarcimento". Le "ingiunzioni" generalmente proibiscono a un'azienda di impegnarsi in pratiche illegali, comprese eventuali violazioni del #GDPR. Le misure di "risarcimento" consentono una versione europea di una "class action", in cui migliaia o milioni di utenti potrebbero essere rappresentati da noyb e, ad esempio, chiedere danni non materiali quando i loro dati personali sono stati elaborati illecitamente. Contrariamente alle class action statunitensi, la legge dell'UE richiede che tali azioni siano intentate su base puramente non-profit.

This could change the screen reader paradigm and I'll try the #Windows version when it's available, but I worry that using it for work and remaining #GDPR compliant will not be possible.
This also heralds a much bigger paradigm change - the UI for everyone will change and the GUI as we know it may well disappear.

The #Go team is considering to add telemetry to their compiler/toolchain:

As if that alone wasn't horrible enough, they want to make it opt-OUT.
I can't think of a reason why opt-OUT would be acceptable ... in any case.

Enabled by default means you believe that what I do on my computer is your business unless I choose otherwise. This should be self-evidently "wrong", because what I do on my computer is absolutely not the Go team's business unless and until I choose to make it your business.
It does not matter whether knowing “what I do” makes your job easier, or is somehow "useful" to you. It does not matter if you find an implementation that is somehow technically "legal". It does not matter if the proposed implementation of telemetry itself is sound and reasonable. None of that changes the simple fact that what I do on my computer is not, by default, ever any of your business.

I know there is a lot going on at Twitter right now, but here's one more thing. Twitter is ignoring #GDPR requests from people to delete their DMs.
At the moment, when you press delete on a Twitter DM (an individual message or conversation) the DM isn't actually deleted from Twitter's servers, just your inbox view.
So people in Europe have been making requests for Twitter to blitz all their messages. It hasn't properly answered them. And now regulators are looking at it
