I just found this post from a while and something came to my mind. I’m not promoting this a lot here but I’m making an app for SMM and Marketing agencies. This app, amongst is features, has a link for website tracking that feeds the app directly. I knew I wanted to do it respecting everyone’s privacy, so I did it GDPR-compliant with anonymised data so that it only gets basic traffic patterns. GDPR is a privacy law from the EU, they force everyone to have all data that’s possible anonymised, heavy protection on personal data (I know since I manage some other apps with personal data for customers). Basically they force all this policies, which, don’t get me wrong, I agree to, but then they can collect all this data just because yes. And we all know how well does the government systems always work, very secure and private. This is a bad taste joke. View quoted note →

Congrats Spaniards, we won. Tomorrow will be Monday, we will still have to work. The government will still take 70% of what we earn in combined taxes. The collected tax money will still be in hands of corrupt or opaque politicians. We will still be in a “democracy” were we vote for people expecting they will do what we want instead of voting for real decisions ourselves. Congrats, we won.
