  • TikTok fined $600 million for China data transfers that broke EU privacy rules

    Jump

  • But only as it seems.

    EU fines is a ladder system. First offence it can be around the 600m. Next one is % of their income worldwide (not profit).

    Should they hit hard on the first offence? Maybe, but getting the first strike is not fun either with how this system works.

  • Aah, the US.

    The only place in the world where everyone knows the word 'communism' and nobody knows what it is.

    Russia and China are not communism btw. :shocked Pikachu:

  • This is the way.

    I for sure also want to access it on my Home Assistant, and it really can save alot of power to automate it. Even going down to 20C in the night, and make it going to 22C before anyone wakes up saves alot in a year.

    But stay the fuck out of my data.

  • They call the product line 'Nest', because it's where their data servers is getting nutrition from.

  • So Google is telling us, they cant make a product if there are standards or requirements for what they are doing?

    That means whatever US customers are buying, theres something in it, that does something illegal in EU.

  • Energy labelling and ecodesign requirements will apply to smartphones and tablets from June 2025

  • Same, good to find out though. Good thing is some phone manufatures will now actually have to do something about poor efficiency, if they want to sell more.

    I always look at it when buying machines for my home, why not a phone.

  • Maybe I know nothing, but my VPN always defaults to Netherlands in the EU.

    Could it be that its just hosted there through some tunnel VPN or some shit?

    I dont know how it works, so maybe its all wrong.

  • Exactly, and you dont need to be consistent in this case. You set examples for the biggest offenders, and then others would think twice.

    Also, you need to qualify as a gate keeper to be in the lime light. EU is going for the biggest, not everyone at once.

    And for the Amazon example: they are only big in some EU countries, and its not close to US popularity. They might not be a gate keeper here.

  • Great results. Would an AI build for this not be better, or is it just meant as a kind of benchmark for LLMs?

  • EU is democratic, which also means everyone can propose a law. Never have EU put a backdoor into anything, but its true that there have been law proposals for it.

    Never voted through.

  • EU could potentially make a group category like for Norway or Switzerland, and then take in other countries all around the world to cooperate more and stand together with the EU on some issues.

    Canada would be a great candidate. Maybe even Australia, but I dont really know anything about their politics.

  • Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government

    Jump

  • If its because hes part of the opposition, its worrying. But Bluesky mentions he also violates their ToS, so it might be worse in some way.

    Theres too much missing information to make an opinion, but we should keep an eye out either way for more examples of this.

  • Probably, but it could also have been incredibly racist and whats worse.

    This guy really needs to show what he posted. Why hide that.

  • It's a tool for censuring things. And it will hide behind a very few number of cases where its put to good use.

    But most of the time, its probably gonna get misused.
