chenGOD Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 WATMM ain’t in Europe. A quick glance at article 13 and research on it indicates that it’s a clusterfuck of a regulation and will be highly unenforceable. This is not to say that it shouldn’t be removed, cause it’s really silly, but it shouldn’t cause an individual much concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure this has been discussed before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingformung Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 The thing is how would that be enforced? That could only go along with extensive surveillance of the whole internet by law enforcement agencies and automated processing of the data which is not only juridically very difficult but also technologically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yeah that's the Legal Committee - and even if the EU parliament passes it (which I don't think likely), it's still a clusterfuck of unenforceable regulations. I forsee a spike in VPN pro subscriptions though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
