that's fair but making individual people forget anything is not the point of the regulation in question so

in actual practice existing laws like these tend to be used to cover up when some rich/powerful/connected guy gets caught in a massive scandal or something and they want to try to hide as much related documentation as possible. or depending on country, just regular people who are mad about some embarrassing thing they did still being spread. but since people already know about the embarassing thing, newspapers have already been printed, etc etc its not really effective about hiding the thing, though it tends to cause things to rise to get more embroidered.

a particular aspect is that, say, if you search on google.de for a certain person you'll get a message about hidden search results, but if you just go on google.com you can see the thing they wanted hidden just fine.


this particular set of legislation is basically being written and passed in response to several different court rulings along those issues in recent years, for example there was a 2014 ECJ case that led to this http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/files/factsheets/factsheet_data_protection_en.pdf

In a customer management system there's little else besides personal data. Contact details, correspondence, support tickets, order details... that's basically all there is. And it's not just a case of trawling through backups - in the case of an incremental backup you can't even access the data without restoring the increment against its full backup. So you do that and remove the data.. then what? Instead of the 200mb incremental you started with you've got a 200gb full database. What are you meant to do with that?

So we outlaw the use of tape backups, we outlaw the use of incremental backups and we outlaw the use of offline data storage...?

It's perfectly possible to have reasonable data protection legislation without putting a completely unreasonable burden on backup processes. It would be silly to pretend there are only two options, this or literally no control over how personal information is stored and handled.

I think the main reason you're so against this is it's going to be a pain in the rear end for companies who have lovely data storage such as yours

think about it this way: there's going to be a lot of job security when all the corps have to change a shitload of backend and hey at least your days will fly by!

How is the mere use of incremental backups and encryption "lovely" data storage? Are you genuinely saying the only way for data backups to not be lovely is for it to be always online and read-write? In what universe would you even consider backups like that without this arbitrary requirement? Running automated destructive scripts on backup data literally undermines the entire point of having backups.

corporations are made of people, many of who are probably going to remember whatever thing someone's trying to cover up.

corporations are legally people everywhere that corporations exist. that is the concept of the corporation, a single person that acts for multiple.

that is a fantastically stupid idea, we are granting corporations rights which the people working for the corporation does not have individually, and the fact that the people will individually remember data is no reason to not dictate how corporations manage data. in fact, we already do in a number of instances. corporations involved in medical fields very notoriously, and if you want to persist in this direction you probably need to dismantle hipaa first, because nurses do have ears

there is absolutely *no* fundamental philosophical reason why this is unnatural/bad/wrong. you are in with idiot libertarian taxation-is-theft shitheads when you try to argue that things simply *must* be as you want them to be. if you want to make a point you will have to make it in terms of desirable outcomes and utility realized.

and along that path there very well may be good arguments, but the arrogant corporate "well, it seems very hard for us to make happen therefore obviously the law is wrong" is way way out of line

what are you even talking about at this point. fact is the embarrassing thing people attempt to use these rulings to hide from are likely to be made more notorious by the attempt to hide them.

not to mention that current EU jurisprudence is that most attempted instances of invoking "right to be forgotten" probably won't be approved by legal force, but would instead need to be basically a voluntary thing by the companies involved. your apparent idea of an expansive right everyone already has that is being taken away is not backed by law or courts or sense.

haha, oh come on, what are you even trying to achieve? i have made only one post about corporations, but all i did was note that they are legal constructs, never mentioning people. and you can't seriously think that there aren't things that corporations can do that people cannot (though i'd buy share #1 when the fishmech ipo happens). i will yield since i assume people will want to get back to a buffer overflows or something, but you are spewing absolute nonsense man

i couldn't make it to this talk to see how bitcoin can solve healthcare

quote:

Over the next ten years, blockchain and distributed ledger technologies will fundamentally change the delivery of care around the globe. The blockchain provides a technical framework where trust is moved from central controlling intermediaries to the open source protocol, freeing data and assets from the control of traditional corporate interests. The great hope is that this evolution will result in the empowerment of consumers, communities, and markets centered on sustainable wellness and environments of health. The coming years represent a unique opportunity to make sure blockchain-based global health initiatives are structured in a way that re-constructs our broken system in a way that improves the lives of individuals and the communities in which they live.
