@BeAware Indeed it's a valid point, some software doesn't support deletion from the protocol. But I suppose it's a minority looking at the stats and the argument could be the same for any Internet crawler or even common crawl dataset. There is no issue for those datasets. Maybe the Meta lawyers are too picky... or they had something else in mind when connecting.

@BeAware I have a threads account and was looking for the Fediverse button for days until I discovered it's only for non-EU members. I think the GDPR arguments from Meta doesn't make sense as the protocol allow the deletion.

@BeAware If the person is in Europe, they cannot turn the Fediverse on. Sniff sniff.

@BeAware In regard to GDPR that they do a reasonable effort to inform other platforms via ActivityPub - Delete activity to invalidate the cache. If the receiving software discards the activity, is still a legal risk for Meta ? Just wondering @SmartmanApps

@SmartmanApps but still the EU citizen cannot share from #Threads to the #fediverse https://help.instagram.com/760878905943039 I’m wondering what’s the reason behind this…

Open source is getting stronger in Luxembourg. There is also the "The LibreOffice Conference 2024 will take place from the 10 to the 12 October 2024 in Belval, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg and will be preceded by an open day for the LibreOffice community member meetings on 9 October 2024."

@bagder I see similar requests from various users of CentOS and RH, I suppose those users are willing to pay for supported (wallet-garden) OS but who cares about the one doing the actual software to put in their “enterprise ready” operating system.

@neil FOSDEM is a public access conference without fee, there is no restriction on the access. For private conference with registration and fee, then it's becoming a complete different story. Then there is also the purpose, the case-law and how the distribution of the picture is performed (with or without gain).
