@kkarhan@kaia@verbraucherzentrale Is it though? Under EU law e.g. Youtube checks IDs to see if the users are definitely not kids (it can be omitted, I used a PSC card to send some money to a youtuber and that was enough to prove I'm an adult, weirdly though), proving the authenticity for having a mark that your name is confirmed (I assume this is all about that, I haven't been using Twitter for a while and only under a pseudonym anyway) might be a legitimate reason to check all of that data.
I mean, the questions is – you say that this is illegal with a lot of confidence and certainty and I wonder why, do you just think it's probably illegal or you have something on mind?
@kkarhan@kaia Have you worked with GDPR complacency ever? Because I did, it wasn't a lot of work on that, but still gives me some idea how it works. Using documents for verification of identity to provide a service that is a confirmed account is actually a pretty reasonable purpose of data processing, especially that the whole verification is voluntary
>Needless to say #GDPR & #BDSG violations are the least… Well, Google is actually forced to check the the identity and the fact that users are 18 to allow them to see some content thanks to EU regulations. It would be weird if it wasn't allowed by the EU, especially that the compliance to regulation is one of legitimate and listed purposes of data processing.
The perfect system of financing roads doesn’t exis…
Parking rules are not, however, the limit of what keeps cars out of Tokyo. Arguably, an even bigger reason is how infrastructure has been funded in Japan. That is, by the market, rather than directly by taxes. In the 1950s and ’60s, much like Europe and the United States, Japan began building expressways. But unlike in Europe and America, it was starting from a considerably more difficult place. In 1957, Ralph J. Watkins, an American economist who had been invited to advise the Japanese government, reported that “the roads of Japan are incredibly bad. No other industrial nation has so completely neglected its highway system.” Just 23 percent of roads were paved, including just two-thirds of the only highway linking Osaka, Japan’s historical economic hub, to Tokyo.
But unlike America, the idea of making them free never seemed to cross politicians’ minds, probably because Japan in the postwar era was not the world’s richest country. Capital was not freely available. To build the roads, the national government formed corporations such as the Shuto Kōsoku-dōro Kabushiki-gaisha, or Metropolitan Expressway Company, which was formed in greater Tokyo in 1959. These corporations took out vast amounts of debt, which they had to repay, so that the Japanese taxpayer would not be burdened. That meant that tolls were imposed from the very beginning. The tolls had to cover not just the construction cost, but also maintenance and interest on the loans. Today, to drive on the Shuto Expressway costs from 300 to 1,320 yen, or $2.50 to $11 for a “standard-size” automobile. Overall, tolls in Japan are the most expensive in the world — around three times higher than the level charged on the private autoroutes in France, or on average, about 3,000 yen per 100 kilometers ($22 to drive 62 miles).
We've all lived through COVID times, but it's weird for me that some people would do their reporting etc. job from home, probably as weird as it would be in 2019
@lain Well, east europeans also take into consideration the geopolitical history, but it's just a bit different experience
Also, tbh, as far as I see more and more often the people who use the argument of “NATO expansion bad” are just Marxist pieces of shit like Chomsky anyway
