<p>Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.</p><p>I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.</p><p>CC <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@noybeu" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>noybeu</span></a></span> </p><p><a href="/tags/x/" rel="tag">#x</a> <a href="/tags/twitter/" rel="tag">#twitter</a> <a href="/tags/gdpr/" rel="tag">#gdpr</a> <a href="/tags/elonmusk/" rel="tag">#ElonMusk</a></p>

<p>🤣 Google 剛通知我要把帳戶從巴拿馬「遷移」到德國，因為這破公司判定我「常年居住德國」<br>現實：我只是一直開著 Proton VPN 連德國節點保護隱私而已，根本沒去過德國 😅<br>更搞笑的是我基本上不怎麼用 Google 服務，我用 Startpage、Disroot、Proton Drive、CoMaps 等替代品，Google 花大力氣分析一個幾乎不存在的使用者，然後得出完全錯誤的結論，還要正式發郵件通知我這個「重大發現」😂<br>最離譜的是這次「遷移」還會把我的賬號換成愛爾蘭的公司，讓我享受到 GDPR 和 BDSG？所以 Google 的錯誤判斷實際上給了我更強的隱私權利，這就像小偷闖你家結果幫你修門鎖一樣逆天 🤡<br>世界上最先進的數據分析公司被一個簡單的 VPN 完全耍了，還以為自己很牛逼然後幫我提升了隱私保護等級，媽的笑死我了哈哈哈哈，感謝 Google 證明我的隱私策略有多成功，這大概就是傳說中的「人工智障」吧 🙃<br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://ovo.st/club/board" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>board</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/google/" rel="tag">#Google</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#Privacy</a> <a href="/tags/gdpr/" rel="tag">#GDPR</a> <a href="/tags/bigtech/" rel="tag">#BigTech</a> <a href="/tags/datacollection/" rel="tag">#DataCollection</a> <a href="/tags/techfail/" rel="tag">#TechFail</a> <a href="/tags/irony/" rel="tag">#Irony</a></p>
