Turbo nerds, GDPR is not about whois information, and barely anyone knows about or cares about whois besides you autists.
Aldra's mad with me cos he keeps trying to act like a know it all, even about shit he is barely familiar with. And I'm the only person who calls him on it.
Registering something you own in your name is important to assert ownership. You register literally everything when ownership might be brought into question - cars, land, houses, etc. Maybe you should start a blockchain dns like .eth or something if you don't want your name on your own site. Goddam.
GDPR will wind up being used against people who do things like publish lists of tax cheats and the like - as with the panama papers. That is the whole point of GDPR, it's not about cookies or email or any of that internet shit, it's about real world money and banking.

Originally posted by Lanny Can you tie this back to how overruling of the WHOIS requirement advantages the wealthy? How exactly is it that you imagine anonymous publication helps the dominant power structure?
I never said WHOIS helps the wealthy, even though it does, very slightly, as now I can't tell who owns a .ie domain.
GDPR is just using privacy to help keep stuff secret. Secrets help the power structure.
To see how privacy is used in an evil way instance consider Heinrich Kordewiner, a blogger who reposted a video of a migrant attack he found on fb on his blogAccording to the search warrant, Kordewiner is accused of having «invaded the private sphere» of the murder victim, in breach of §201a of Germany’s Criminal Code.

The video doesn't even show any identifiable information, but that is beside the point.
We will soon see GDPR being used by the rich to control our access to information about them. It is going to have an incredibly chilling effect upon public discourse when it is. -

Originally posted by Lanny Does "public lookup activity refer to the activity of looking someone up, or do you mean to say looking up records on a person's activity should be publicly available?
Information lookup activity = the activity of information lookup. That does not mean or imply that information lookup should be publicly available, but the activity done in information lookup should be.
If I say government spending activity should be public, that doesn't mean that everyone has a right to spend government money.
This is not hard, and this is why I think you are trying to "win" this internet argument by deliberately misinterpreting my words and going to big long arguments. -

Originally posted by Lanny How do you both make information public and only allow it to be looked up when a crime happens? If you only disclose information after a crime happens, then the vast majority of surveillance information will never be disclosed which is the opposite of "public".
If you read what I wrote it clearly says that information lookup activity should be made public.
This small example is why I'm not engaging with you. You are arguing in bad faith. -
2018-07-09 at 8:27 AM UTC in Is this website GDPR compliant?Lanny, your post is worthless and doesn't even merit a response. Fuck off with your tactical nihilism and "prove to me" shite.
As regards books:All publishers must also supply full contact details (name of publisher, mailing address, telephone, fax, email and URL).

2018-07-08 at 11:16 PM UTC in The ocean is full of jellyfishThose fuckers. I think the warm weather is the cause. I went to the beach but didn't even go swimming because there were so many it was literally impossible to do so without running into them. At the same beach a few days a kid was sent to intensive care after getting tangled up in a big one.
Did we fuck up the ocean by removing all the small fish, so now Jellyfish have taken over? A lot of ecologists seem to think so. -

Originally posted by Lanny No, I repeatedly asked you to make clarify your post but you seem to have refused to. If you want to take back what you said about the similarity to copyright law you can and we'll move on, but at present you seem to be avoiding addressing the point.
Honestly I don't know what post you're on about, and I don't really care. I don't even think it's relevant to the argument, just you claiming a "gotcha".there is no precedent for public disclosure of ownership of a site.
It's quite common for things to have to be registered at a central authority. Ships come to mind, so do things like radio stations and so forth. In many countries newspapers must be registered, and in some even bloggers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_regulation
The idea that there is no precedent simply doesn't hold water.The whois requirement never really worked at establishing ownership in the first place.
Yes, true. It should be better enforced.Inability to publish pseudonymously restricts freedom of speech.
Yes, true.
In the EU GDPR goes far beyond the internet and applies to all sorts of bullshit, like CCTV cameras and people's business interactions. I believe the effect it to assist the wealthy to hide their wealth, and increase the atomicity and anonymity of society, which I posit to be bad things as they enable easier exploitation of workers and greater wealth inequality. -

We aren't kitted out for this weather like Americans are, so we don't have sprinkler systems or anything. We don't even have decent reservoirs, as it rains so much here it's assumed they aren't needed.
How do you manage when grass turns yellow and dies. Does it come back? Will we just have fields of mud?
Should we avoid cutting grass when it's dry? I heard somewhere you shouldn't do that. -

Thanks, interesting post. Is getting addicted to opiates damaging, or is it something that can be undone.
Is trying to stop opiates getting into the hands of potential addicts completely pointless.
Do you think regular opiate users are people who are missing pleasure from their lives, and need a more rewarding life situation? -

Originally posted by Lanny So basically you hold to an almost definitionally oppressive doctrine and because of this political dogma you refuse to mount an actual argument for you position because "ima a fascist lol, so that means privacy doesn't matter!"
This is especially comic in light of your insistence on the importance of "accountability" in the other thread seeing as you label yourself as a supporter of the state with zero accountability.
You haven't articulated an argument either, you've just been like "hurr durr, caught you backtracking". As a debate tactic that's one step up from pointing out spelling errors.
A state is a collection of individuals. In a fascist state accountability of individuals is key. The state is only a concept - a body corporate, and not a person. All individuals need to be accountable, and the measure of their value is the extent to which they aid and bring renown to the state. -

Originally posted by Grimace I am a former heroin addict myself. IV heroin user, went to prison for heroin and cocaine possession and oxycodone with intent to distribute. I know about opiate addiction plenty. I went on to become an entrepreneur. I now own my own business and am quite successful in life. Just celebrated 10 years clean.
Not every opiate addiction story ends with death.
Genuine congratulations. Since you (no sarcasm) seem to know more than me, how would you approach solving opiate use? -
2018-07-08 at 10:20 PM UTC in Is this website GDPR compliant?Lanny, I'm a fascist. I believe in a strong state, a patriarchy, and a dictatorship.
Your political views are best described as heedless fluffy bunny exploitation of workers and of natural resources.
One thing everyone, even antifa commies, agree on is that fascist states work great, and help improve countries and the lives of the people therein. The examples are numerous, especially in places like Latin America.
Anything that a government has done due to restricting privacy is a drop in a bucket compared to the chaos that results from not allowing police the power to do what needs to be done due to "privacy", "due procedure", "human rights" and other faggoty made up concepts. -

Originally posted by Grimace Also, hydro is (was?) a shit person. If she is dead, that's what you fucking get for living the life you chose.
She was a victim of opiates, which are imported and produced by jedis.
The war on drugs is literally a jedi plot to control the competition, to pathologise responsible drug use, and to prevent real, effective interventions in opiate users lives.

2018-07-08 at 10:10 PM UTC in I think something might have happened to hydroI had a sense that she was checking out. I think it was her time. Was it an OD or did the infection spread to an organ?
