Porn giant Mindgeek – owner of popular online fleshpots Pornhub, RedTube, YouPorn and Brazzers – will now collect names, mobile phone number, addresses and dates and place of birth before users log in.You’ll have to create a username and password to use Pornhub from April onwards.The AgeID system has caused alarm among privacy campaigners – who say it has the potential for Ashley Madison-style leaks.‘You can imagine how much data that is going to give MindGeek, if they’re going to have stats on what people click on, what porn sites people click on, what they pay for,’ said porn site owner Pandora Blake at an Open Rights Group meeting in London last year.
What do you expect from a country that issues licenses to own a TV?

Here in Ireland you just have to pay it if you have a TV. Even if its not working. I have two TVs and only ever used them as gaming monitors.

Basically if you have any device that uses the internet, you need to pay a license for it too.xDDDD

It's really disheartening to see, even though I live in the US.But Europe is by large and far the biggest privacy-oriented power in the world. Expression is much more debatable, but privacy law is literally most of my job and what you're saying here just isn't accurate in the light of many recent EU privacy happenings. That's speaking about the EU though. The UK has always been a more of nanny state and you're likely going to be seeing a lot more of these recessive policies after the Brexit.

Quote from: Aether on February 01, 2018, 09:40:52 AMThe point, for me, is that these issues exist somewhere in Europe, and I'm afraid that they will spread to places where they aren't currently an issue.Never say never, but I doubt it. If anything, Europe is moving towards stronger and more privacy protections in changing times. If you fear for your privacy then the US should be your main concern at this point.Still, gotta stay vigilant for this stuff. Privacy and security are difficult to balance.

Quote from: FatherlyNick on February 01, 2018, 10:12:19 AMWe now need to delete all customer data after a certain time and request access to specific files with a business justification."Now" has been required for 20 years, just so you know (although it might not have been implemented strictly at the lower levels). Can you elaborate on the second part?
We now need to delete all customer data after a certain time and request access to specific files with a business justification.
Quote from: FatherlyNick on February 01, 2018, 10:30:53 AMWell, prior to this rule it was only delete files that have something like IP addresses or usernames. Now its all and anything. But whatever, there is auto-archiving regardless.That's interesting. Any controller has long been under the obligation to minimize their use of personal data and delete it as soon as it's no longer necessary. The GDPR slightly broadens the definition of personal data but it's mainly just codifying what was already commonly recognized through court cases and whatnot. What other files do you delete then? And auto-archiving of personal data still counts as processing so that doesn't exactly sound like it's allowed.QuoteBlue Diamond customers are the most pain. You need to do some much just to get a single file. Some people on the team, flat out refuse to work with BD customers because of this. Even though I wrote up a straight-forward doc on how to get to the files.I have no clue what they are. Just important / high profile clients with high security requirements? Because that's probably not a legal requirement then.

I know you have some kind of strange hateboner for me because god forbid I sometimes criticize things about the US, but now you're just being silly. It's a fact that the EU is more protective of privacy than the US, which is something completely unrelated to jury trials. Requiring a full jury for all small offenses is a largely pointless waste of time and resources, and the ample examples of countries with strong codified guarantees to jury trials that don't have it in such broad terms in their constitution backs my point. The right to a fair trial or due process most definitely does deserve that protection, but an explicit constitutional guarantee to a jury for every criminal offense is in my opinion and that of many other scholars not a necessity as this is usually already covered by the general fairness requirement.
