Das stimmt, wenn Du Zoobesucher bist. Das stimmt nicht, wenn Du damit Deinen eigenen Käfig meinst. Meinst Du damit Deinen Käfig, heisst das Resignation.

Since everybody else seemed to go into paralysis about what to do, I added a privacy policy to the dev branch which covers the main points and should be a good start. You're welcome to improve on this (a French translation landed the next day), but at least it's *something* and that's so much better than *nothing*. To be fully compliant you may need to edit that document and add some contact information at the end. This will cause merge conflicts if somebody changes the source file (highly likely) so that will need to be addressed.

Thank you, Mike - well done! I got this from Moodle this morning - https://moodle.com/privacy-policy/ and suggest people read both Mike's and that one to see how it can be done at your hub.

Isn't that crazy? We are writing stuff on the web. And have to copy & paste "Ulysses"-long legal Docs in our sites...

Carsten

Wed, 23 May 2018 09:04:58 +0200

Well, only if you're hosting a site yourself that is readable and also meant for others that don't belong to your family. That's not too crazy. If you're buying a bottle of water they have to write on the bottle that there's water in the bottle. They don't have to write there's air in the bottle.

The problem currently is that we need something safe and watertight (preferably something that isn't a hack) within less than 48 hours. In the stable branch. And "we" means everyone who runs a hub anywhere in the EU, whether public or private.

Even if we implement it later, server owners may have to prove that they've been compliant with the new laws starting May 25h, midnight local time. Which they most likely can't because they haven't.

Not sure we have to worry about GDPR. Hubzilla is perfect example of how internet public services should operate. If hubzilla is not GDPR complient starting already from the concept of what it is, then I dont know what is.

I wonder about embeded links and i f there would be a way for users to switch them off if they desire.
For example this is our privacy policy: https://disroot.org/en/privacy_policy and tos: https://disroot.org/en/tos
We've looked at it the last days but not sure there is anything we would need to add to be more gdpr complient. If anyone would like to give some feedback please do. Any changes I think of, such us information about embed links seem very comsmetic and not a reason to send out thousands of emails (like the rest of the internet does for the last week).

Mike Macgirvin

Wed, 23 May 2018 11:42:24 +0200

You can block all embeds and just present a link if you want. admin/security is the place to look

@Nike yes, but thats not a per user option.

Carsten

Wed, 23 May 2018 16:03:32 +0200

Why should it? A user is not responsible as long as he's not officially nominated as the responsible person.

Yes. but then user could decide whether he prefers to be monitored say by youtube or not. So instead of giving users choice (you want embeds or not), you as a user have none (either your hub does embeds or not).

Wed, 23 May 2018 16:34:44 +0200

FLUCHTHELFERIN
1940/41 half die deutsche Widerstandskämpferin Lisa Fittko Hunderten von Emigranten über einen alten Schmugglerpfad aus Frankreich über die Pyrenäen nach Spanien. Einer von ihnen: Walter Benjamin. Einen Tag nach seiner geglückten Flucht beging er Selbstmord.

Und heute spricht Alexander Dobrindt von "Anti-Abschiebe-Industrie".

Also im letzten Leben wars ja noch ganz ok, viel Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten und so, wenn auch mit etwas Ecken und Kanten. Aber diese neue Version ist zwar schön sauber gestaltet, aber schrecklich kompliziert, einfache Shell-Skrips wurden durch komplexe Binaries ersetzt und es gibt kaum Konfigurationsoptionen... Könnte man nicht den Benutzern das alte Griechentum noch als Plugin zur Verfügung stellen?

Ethan Zuckerman, MIT media scholar. Invented the pop-up ad.

Actually I think I might be responsible for that. But if he wants to take the credit, that's perfectly fine with me.

So here's the story. I had just started working at Netscape. We were very deep into the first releases of netscape 2 (the first releases with javascript). On my employee home page I put a little demo script of some fun things you could do with it. One of my demos (called "Mike's Annoying JavaScript Popup") would open a new window about 150px square with a photo of me in it. If you moved the mouse near it, it would vanish and popup elsewhere on the screen, far away from your cursor. It turns out you could sneak up on it from above and close it from the window manager. But I figured I should make this annoying as well. If you closed it from the window manager, I popped up two more windows. On a Windows machine you literally had to turn off the computer to get rid of it.

All was well until I started seeing my code on porn sites with popups containing bouncing titties and dick pics you couldn't get rid of without pulling the plug on your computer. I removed the fork/duplicate code from the demo, but the genie was out of the bottle by that point.

Well, see, there is the difference. You didn't put an ad in your annoying pop-up.

I remember seeing it .. I think it said something like "Mike's Magic ..." in it somewhere

I saw popups similar to what you describe happen on some site and somehow managed to view source to see what was going on.
