Ask for the full name, address and dob of the EU citizen making the request and then respond that you don’t have any record of anyone by that name.

Optional; replace all their posts on the forum with ‘this post has been removed at the request of [name, address, dob]’

I wonder why nearly every website that could possibly be visited by EU citizens now has a pop-up T&C about data, privacy and cookies, hmmmmmmmm... I'd leave the lawyering to LJC.

I don't. It's because those websites have owners with servers and/or other assets in the EU. The OP (being a random Canadian running a small web forum) does not have that.

Yeah, his website will just get blocked in the EU. Tough poo poo if he has corp members in the EU, otherwise no-one cares. :shrug:

ah, the nebulous "people".

The only people who would be affected by the block of that particular website by EU ISPs would be European corp members for his space guild, I doubt that they would roll back a block, if one were implemented, because one or 2 European people were inconvenienced by the block caused by OP not complying with GDPR.

What I am saying is that they won't block poo poo because it doesn't have a popup. Do you really think that Europeans will allow some unvoted fucks to block 3/4 of the internet ?
GDPR is not meant to do that and so far they were not able to manage physical businesses. They have created a bureaucratic nightmare and I believe that blocking gaming sites is last of their problems for next
10 years.

GDPR exists explicitly to make it impossible for tech companies to operate within the law. It's deliberately batshit and opaque. It serves as a bullet to execute large US companies operating across the Atlantic should relations deteriorate (massively unlikely, but important) and as a blackmail/leverage mechanism to make them pay some drat tax. The knock on effect is that anyone can :commissar: tech startups now.

That's uhhhhhh one view.

Maybe, to take a different tack, these US companies should implement proper controls over personal data if they want to do business in the EU. You sound like the sort of person who railed against SOX or HIPAA/HITECH or PCI DSS.

gently caress US tech companies cavalier attitudes to privacy, in short, if they can't protect my data. If your business model relies on exploiting consumer data, get hosed.

It is my understanding that the GDPR only applies to real companies and businesses. Some private person running an EVE space nerd guild should just be able to shrug it off because they don't do it for business reasons.

There is a list of things that are explicitly considered personal information. No data mining, no cookies = no GDPR. At least I don't see a way they could legally enforce that on individuals. I have talked to a ground school principal about it, he was very pissed off as the state never gave them any guidelines or tools to fix this. And that is like info of 6-15 year olds. Talked to trade inspectors about it and they were pretty much the same except the part they can ask for the signed permissions regarding our customer cards. I have learned that they don't plan to enforce it unless a person raises an official protest if the company fails to remove personal data or denies the "right to be forgotten".

This is of course different in every country. I can imagine that Germany has way more resources to enforce these jokes than Slovakia.

EVE is basically full loot pvp for fucktards. Can you name a full loot pvp game that is so devoid of player skill and that caters to the most pathetic of risk averse grief monkeys? ie: commonplace suicide ganking.

oh hey i got more out of him

I lose 1 bil pod a 6+ years ago while autopiloting. That was the day I stopped paying a sub FYI. It wasn't about the quantity of loss for me as much as it was the cherry on top to realized how poo poo the game really was. Here you have a protected class (suicide gankers) who you can't retaliate against in any impactful way who takes no risk for their reward. The game just isn't worth playing imo if you can't autopilot in high sec or do activities while afk. It is time consuming tedium and the rewards aren't worth it. PVE in EVE seems designed to serve you up to the most awful of gamers. The pvp is devoid of player skill.

Why do you guys still bother with this trash? Do you know there are other full loot pvp games out there that actually require player skills? or are you just so invested or addicted at this point that you can't break from it?

the upvote downvote system means that the overall tone can go incredibly negative when people start getting angsty. after a while people start downvoting positive stuff just because they want to feel justified about quitting.

I appreciate the helpful advice in comments and on twitter, I really do. But at the end of the day my industrial activities in EVE were always a casual one man affair trying to have some fun making a small business on one screen while working on another and the two ganks this past month have shown me that its become more frustrating than its worth.

I was at keyboard, watching ships around me, ready for danger and still I failed. I had to know the proper way to log off, I had to have scout alts, I had to wait for the right time, avoid certain systems, join channels, etc etc etc. On the other hand, the gankers sit there and ping a channel when a target is sighted, target me, hit F1, and get a kill. The asymmetry of it all galls me still, and has for years. If I can't casually have my high sec little business without this stress, I'm going to quit. Other's can have it.

I mean the OP is an American who has a website hosted in the United States by an American company. Amazon might act on such a request, but I see no reason why this guy should.

He should tell the French lawyers to cross the Atlantic and make him. The fact is American companies that don’t do business in the EU—like news outlets based in the US for instance, ignore the poo poo out of these requests all day long because they are absolutely un-enforceable in the US.

Frankly I think ignoring these requests by major companies is total bullshit, but clearly I feel differently when some butthurt EU citizen in Eve gets mad at his old corp for being kicked.
