if everything that is currently ad supported on the internet suddenly became subscription based it would be a huge blow to the poor. You can argue whether or not "regressive" is the right word but it would disproportionally affect the poor in a negative way

How does GDPR interact with network engineering and planning? Right now, if I'm running a stream service and see bitrates drop for some IPs, I can take a look at routing to those IPs and figure out what's going on, or if I see a bunch of DOS traffic from some IPs, I can drop that traffic. Do normal traffic monitoring/analysis tool outputs fall under protected data, or does it only count if you're correlating IP with other, more personal data?

http://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/recital-47-GDPR.htm

quote:

(49) The processing of personal data to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate for the purposes of ensuring network and information security, i.e. the ability of a network or an information system to resist, at a given level of confidence, accidental events or unlawful or malicious actions that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal data, and the security of the related services offered by, or accessible via, those networks and systems, by public authorities, by computer emergency response teams (CERTs), computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs), by providers of electronic communications networks and services and by providers of security technologies and services, constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller concerned.

This could, for example, include preventing unauthorised access to electronic communications networks and malicious code distribution and stopping 'denial of service' attacks and damage to computer and electronic communication systems.
tl;dr you may process personally identifiable data such as IPs for DDoS/security/hacking prevention, but only to the extent necessary for those purposes -- i.e. you can't use "hacking prevention" as an excuse to hold onto people's IP addresses forever.

There's nothing that will eliminate the concept of online advertising altogether in the GDPR, it just makes it illegal or difficult to use certain techniques.

I mean, somehow advertising works in print and other media without viewer tracking and user targeting; there's no specific reason why the same things could not be done with online advertising, it'd just be less effective. Of any possible issues with the GDPR "but how can we advertise???" is by far the absolute least important.

The funniest part of it is that as regards advertising, a lot of the stuff GDPR blocks is stuff that doesn't really make ads work better for the advertisers.

Curiously timely story

quote:

A report by an advocacy group in New York says Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing services are virtually “useless” for people with disabilities because of the relative lack of vehicles equipped to handle wheelchairs and motorized scooters.

The report by New York Lawyers for the Public Interest also says that when riders summoned wheelchair-accessible vehicles from Uber and Lyft — the only ride-hailing companies to offer such a service — the wait time was more than four times longer than for regular service.

Before you say "but taxis!", New York City regulations have you covered.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/24/nyregion/accessible-taxis-disabled-nyc.html posted:

The Accessible Dispatch Program was started in 2012, when the Bloomberg administration was embroiled in a bitter feud with advocates for the disabled over the wheelchair accessibility of New York’s taxicabs.

In December 2013, three weeks before Mayor Bill de Blasio was sworn in, the Bloomberg administration settled a class-action suit that accused the city of violating the Americans With Disabilities Act because only a fraction of its taxis were accessible.

The city agreed to adopt regulations to make 50 percent of the city’s more than 13,000 yellow cabs wheelchair-friendly by 2020. The de Blasio administration approved a 30-cent surcharge on taxi rides to help pay for it.

There were 233 accessible yellow cars in 2012, Mr. Fromberg said. Today, there are 2,175 wheelchair-accessible yellow cars, he said.
These regulations already apply to cabs, and will apply to Uber/Lyft starting in 2022. Right now, that compliance is a cost borne by cabs and not by ride-hailing services. I am frankly sceptical that Uber/Lyft will manage anything remotely comparable.

GDPR is the text book example of "law written by people with good intentions who don't have a goddamn clue about what they are regulating".

There is a lot of stupid things you could cut from it that wouldn't negatively impact people's privacy in any meaningful way, but would dramatically reduce the cost of compliance. It is convenient to hand wave the cost of compliance, but ultimately all costs are passed to the consumer.

i've liked what i've seen of it so far. yeah, forbes doesn't want to let me read their articles without me consenting to them selling my data to a ton of different advertisers, but i could consent if I wanted to. if you'd like the list of advertisers they wanted me to consent to having my data sold to, here it is: https://pastebin.com/NFSq5xDR

and yeah, handwringing about this does make you right-wing. the situation with PII is getting worse and worse by year, and advertisers are getting more and more intrusive (not to mention other companies, like repo people using automated camera systems to scan every tag near their car and sell the location data of the people they pick up to all sorts of places). the gdpr does the bare minimum of regulation and forces companies to actually justify the massive amounts of information they're collecting. that's good. that's bare minimum regulatory poo poo, stuff the government should be doing.

The problem is that some people are broken brained and measure the effectiveness of legislation by how much it costs to comply with. So in their view something that is expensive is always better than something that is not expensive. Even if the less expensive version is as good or better at accomplishing the stated purpose of the law.

They don't care about the issue the law is trying to address, they just want to use the law to poo poo on groups they don't like. They don't even care that it wouldn't accomplish their goal of making GBS threads on groups they don't like. They just want to pretend it would.

Compliance wise there are two general parts of the bill.

The first is about what data you are collecting and how you are using/selling it. The GDPR doesn't do anything meaningful here other than require more documentation and making sure your privacy policies are up to date and you're spelling out what you're doing. Which most companies already are. The net effect is that the big players (Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft) and similar have to rewrite some documentation. This is what most people care about the bill doesn't impact things in a meaningful way. But it really doesn't impose a cost either.

The second part is the "Right of Erasure" or "Right to be Forgotten" which is a complete clusterfuck where the majority of the cost and almost no benefit comes into play. The concept of "delete use accounts when they ask" makes sense and is pretty easy to implement, in theory. The problem comes into play in the volume of documentation required and that the GDPR requires all data, including backups, and transient logs to be purged.

So now companies have to restore all backups of their systems "without undue delay", purge a users data and then create a new backup. They also have to review their logs from their ETL and monitoring systems to make sure it isn't lingering in there. So if row #123465690 errored out in some backend process and got dropped into a log, you have to delete that as well.

A lot of these things are reasonably simple when the system is designed in advance to account for them, but considerably more difficult when trying to adapt an existing system. As much as I can sympathize with what a pain in the rear end it's going to be to comply with these requests in the short term, in the long term I expect it will become a non-issue and there are certainly very valid reasons to do it.

yep. if PII is hard to remove for "right to be forgotten" then you're not doing due diligence in the first place to protect it from being stolen

the oddest thing about people complaining about having to reorganize their records to accommodate this is that they've had about 2 years to do so, and most companies didn't bother until just recently

You've got two options for compliance:
Every database that handles customer data in existence must do a custom rewrite core utility functions in the underlying vended product.
Double the storage your company uses and employ a couple dozen people who restore, purge and then backup data again.


There isn't a way around it. That is why it is super dumb. The people who required that all backups be purged simply didn't understand how backups work and that most of them are permanently offline sitting on an encrypted tape in some re-purposed nuclear bunker.

In other words almost all the cost is for doing something that will have a next to zero impact on privacy.

This is a bit ludicrous. You can't "steal" a publicly shared picture, even though it would be a piece of identifiable information by design, and within the gdpr could be something you demand to be deleted. A lot of things you might demand to have removed in the process of removing all of "your data" removed are things which wouldn't be considered sensitive information that needs to be protected.

It's like, your public profile photo and your full national identification card info are both personally identifiable, but usually you would only treat one of those as needing to be on a super secure system if you're going to keep it at all.

i mean, you guys can look at what right to erasure involves: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/right-to-erasure/

it's really not that onerous at all:

quote:

Individuals have the right to have their personal data erased if:
the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose which you originally collected or processed it for;
you are relying on consent as your lawful basis for holding the data, and the individual withdraws their consent;
you are relying on legitimate interests as your basis for processing, the individual objects to the processing of their data, and there is no overriding legitimate interest to continue this processing;
you are processing the personal data for direct marketing purposes and the individual objects to that processing;
you have processed the personal data unlawfully (ie in breach of the lawfulness requirement of the 1st principle);
you have to do it to comply with a legal obligation; or
you have processed the personal data to offer information society services to a child.

basically

  • don't hang on to PII if you don't have a legitimate need for it
  • don't put PII in places it'll be hard to remove if you rely on consent to hold it
  • you can keep PII if you have a legitimate purpose for using and processing it, but only while that purpose exists
  • you can't keep PII if you obtained it illegally
and other fairly obvious things.

I agree with you in general on what you've said with respect to GDPR so far, but this is a bit of an overstatement or generalization, I think, depending on your definition of "hard."

For example, if you've got a very large dataset that isn't indexed by a user identifier. I don't think that makes PII any easier to steal, but it can be difficult or expensive to address in an existing system.

Caveat: certainly keeping the PII you are now supposed to delete makes it easier to steal. But if you're referring to due diligence in protect PII in general, I don't think it is true in that example.

Also, of course, in that case you just suck it up and change the system, and I don't think it's too onerous a requirement. I just don't see that example as an indicator of previous lack of due diligence for data security.

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

With love,

I agree with you in general on what you've said with respect to GDPR so far, but this is a bit of an overstatement or generalization, I think, depending on your definition of "hard."

For example, if you've got a very large dataset that isn't indexed by a user identifier. I don't think that makes PII any easier to steal, but it can be difficult or expensive to address in an existing system.

Caveat: certainly keeping the PII you are now supposed to delete makes it easier to steal. But if you're referring to due diligence in protect PII in general, I don't think it is true in that example.

Also, of course, in that case you just suck it up and change the system, and I don't think it's too onerous a requirement. I just don't see that example as an indicator of previous lack of due diligence for data security.

i'll cop to that
