| > actually it's EU's privacy regulation The GDPR (which is not the only EU privacy law) is fairly described as a “law”, “regulation” is just the formal EU law term for a directly-applicable primary legislative act, which is a kind of law. If you're complaining about the “EU” part, well, the GDPR applies in some non-EU countries too (e.g. in the EEA). > They said that they ve been collecting WITH consent, at least with their definition of consent Some data is collected with ostensible consent, some without, and there's still processing to deal with. > And i bet only 4% want to pay taxes too. polls are not legal documents. Also, "wanted advertising" is very different from "accepted advertising as part of the terms" Sure, but the GDPR also means you can't forcibly bundle consents together. You need to separately consent to invasive use of data for advertising versus provision of the basic service. > I believe facebook does give all their personal data Did this recently change? I seem to recall that Facebook are known for not providing e.g. the data they've got from you browsing other sites with FB cookies unless you went via some difficult legal route. |
details, but they are not claiming that data collection is without consent. they claim that they need a separate consent to use that data to show personalized ads
> you can't forcibly bundle consents together
Yeah that is true. still, making an online poll about what people want in general is a ridiculous way to nullify an agreed contract
> you browsing other sites with FB cookies
that would depend on whether these are personally identifying or personal data in general
