I wouldn’t be so sure that my formaldhyde perfume isn’t carcinogenic, and that hasn’t been banned anywhere.
it already has
we are exceeding our goals
keep on forgetting the atrocities that are kyc laws.
the eshop could just have incredibly shitty logs and just not have that information.
at least in my opinion the government should never make laws that benifit the ignorant at the significant expense of those that know what they are doing.
a website that has a primary function that relies on third part cookies shouldn’t require any opt-in nonsense, most websites don’t need them, not the ones that do are frequently small hobbiest projects that shouldn’t need to be updated just because the megacorps decided to take advantage of browser features.
the user is a piece is software, if the human decides to blindly trust it to execute arbitrary code (javascript) without reading it first they weren’t concerned with their privacy anyway. if they did read it then they had full knowledge of what was being collected.
I’m in favor of laws targeting advertising in general, not specific implementations of advertising or data mining.
If a few friends make websites that all have access to each other’s cookies for things like high scores this would use third party (cross site) cookies because nobody in their right mind would want to store user data on a server for a hobby project. This is the exact same tech that allows ads to track you across the web, just a more legitimate use of it.
why shouldn’t there be a wild west for those that want it?
websites should be allowed fun and whimsy
what about color scheme cookies?
I would have thought that Berlin’s police overreach might have been dealt with sometime since the last world war, but I guess I was just hopeful.
child abuse is a Catholic tradition, that won’t stop anytime soon.
In the US candidates do not technically need to be affiliated with any party nor even necessarily register with the government beforehand (it is almost Impossible to win without it for anything major), however for everything short of the president (electoral college makes weird) there is a blank spot where you can write a name and vote for that person. It appears to mostly be an American thing that has led to vermin supreme and other jokes.
Does Germany allow write in candidates?
that still uniquely identifies you to the company and would make having multiple accounts that are fully separate harder. in addition there would be no way of knowing whether or not the government has or hasn’t hidden another layer of data (like your name) in the certificate.
This would also be trivial for children to bypass as it would need to be usable an unlimited number of times (or else individuals couldn’t have multiple accounts) therefore it would only take one adult sharing their cert and signature publicly for any child to have a valid certificate.
the fact that they received a validation request is informative that they probably shouldn’t be able to access, however regardless of implementation, assuming causality and the speed of light remain, this will be information the government will recieve. Some entity (probably the government) would* also need to know who to send the response to, technically they could just broadcast this over some low frequency transmission broadcast to everyone, but realistically the government would need some kind of address (IP, fax number, po box, etc.).
Technically this is an implementation detail, however the only ways to implement this type of thing that wouldn’t be comprimizing would involve citizen prompted government broadcasts and trust that the government won’t have records of who requested the broadcast and what number was sent (which would make it trivial for adults to just sell the age identifier) and would still worsen the average citizen’s security because it still takes effort to generate a unique identifier for every site.
yes, however the government should NEVER have access to what social messaging apps ANYONE uses without a warrant.
mostly because they don’t extract the lithium ion cells
