Meta/Facebook’s approach to GDPR compliance is largely insufficient, according to a new ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union.
“Meta cannot simply bypass the GDPR with some paragraphs in its legal documents. This will mean that Meta has to seek proper consent and cannot use its dominant position to force people to agree to things they don’t want.”
“…but not for you!”
It’s a good time to be European - if they truly commit to Activitypub, being locked out of this service won’t even matter to the people who might want to be on it.
Oh, nice. Did not know that was a thing. Actually based.
They’re always active with their own mastodon server & proving (no strings attached) funds for the development (along with some other ActivityPub projects if I’m not mistaken).
I hadn’t considered that angle as a reason for wanting in on activitypub. That is actually quite devious
