When they collect that data, they do it for a reason... They don't do it just because its possible to do it... The existence of the data itself is a problem as its collected without consent.

You are making a fool of yourself.

When they collect that data

How do they collect that data if it stays local?

You are making a fool of yourself.

Do you actually think they just screenshot everything for no reason? If so please just get help.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Huh? Of course it's not for no reason...

We're talking about whether taking and storing screenshots locally constitutes a GDPR violation. Which it doesn't.

[–] Mikufan@ani.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No we are talking about the entirety of this shit being a violation, not just the part about the Screenshots being made and locally stored (although that probably would violate other laws)

The GDPR does not apply to taking, storing, and processing screenshots locally.

not just the part about the Screenshots being made and locally stored (although that probably would violate other laws)

"Probably" = you have no idea what you're talking about.

Bloating up hard-drives could be ruled as damage to a system, that would be a court matter however.

So we agree that you were wrong about Microsoft violating the GDPR with this software, then.

[–] Mikufan@ani.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No you just think its about something i didn't say it was about, you literally took the goalposts for a run.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

True or false: You claimed that this software, which takes, stores, and processes screenshots locally, constitutes a violation of the GDPR.

[–] Mikufan@ani.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Correct, the processing part is the important one. And thats what I've said.

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So your claim is that any software that processes any data entirely locally on a users machine is violating the GDPR?

[–] Mikufan@ani.social -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes if it doesn't have consent absolutely. Have you read the fucking link i gave you?

[–] null@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes if it doesn't have consent absolutely.

Source that it doesn't have consent?
