This is cool!
Because Google Fonts isn't #GDPR compliant, someone built "Bunny Fonts" to be a GDPR-compliant alternative.
Drop-in replacement with an identical API!
Ich bin ja eigentlich pro-EU, aber was die Lobbylutscher da manchmal machen, geht auf keine Kuhhaut ...

Meta must change its surveillance advertising model.
Until they do so, you can use your legal right to object to targeted adverts based on your personal data.

Act Now to #StopStalkerAds 
To stop Meta from using the migrant crisis as a marketplace to line their pockets, ORG calls for:
A clear and explicit OPT-IN for targeted advertising.
Full transparency on how ads are targeted in Meta's public ad library.
Proper resourcing for pre-publication ad moderation — to catch fraud and harmful content before it reaches users.
Previous research funded by the Scottish Institute for Policing Research found that Meta’s profiling tools allowed the UK Home Office to build ‘patchwork profiles’ of likely refugees.
This stitches together interests, behaviours and language categories to target them with scare campaigns.
Meta’s profiling and microtargeting means it profits from all aspects of the global migrant crisis.
Its vast surveillance-based infrastructure is also being used by the UK Home Office to target refugees with fear-based advertising to deter people from crossing the Channel in small boats.
Either way, Meta profits from stalker ads 
Meta harvests personal data to track users' behaviour and make assumptions about them, so it can sell targeted adverts.
Surveillance-based advertising conceals a predatory marketplace behind a facade of personalisation.
This is being weaponised to deceive, divide and inflict harm, simply by disguising criminal adverts behind harmless-looking pages.
ORG's report shows that Facebook pages disguised as gaming communities are being used to target migrants with illegal services.
These findings expose a stark reality:
Even after public scandal and media scrutiny, Meta's systems are still enabling fraudsters to prey on migrants.
NEW: ORG investigation reveals Meta enables vulnerable people to be targeted with disinformation and fraudulent ads.
With ads offering fake identity documents still running on Facebook, Meta is profiting from the global migrant crisis.

I mean #GDPR my ass:
"Although it is possible to object at any time after this date, it will no longer be possible to undo that your data has already been used for #AI training. Training data is irrevocably incorporated into AI models and its influence can no longer be removed from the model according to the current state of the art."
So the "state of the art" overrides the law now? 
Regulators telling people how to opt-out of data abuse instead of preventing this from happening. #dataprotection is going great in #Germany.

Die Wahl des richtigen E-Mail-Anbieters ist für europäische Unternehmen 2025 wichtiger denn je. Mit der neuen Trump-Regierung und dem US CLOUD Act steigt das Risiko für vertrauliche Geschäftsdaten erheblich. Gleichzeitig drohen bei DSGVO-Verstößen empfindliche Strafen.
In unsicheren Zeiten kann die richtige Wahl einen entscheidenden Wettbewerbsvorteil darstellen.

My comments in @TheRegister about Meta's intention to train AI on users of Meta's products. This is OK with #GDPR but there's a catch: training on data typed in an AI model is a different thing to training on user's vacation pictures uploaded 15 years ago. But since they're going to clearly notify users and allow opting out, this is OK! Also, #GDPR enforcement of AI in Europe leaves a lot to desire. https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/15/meta_resume_ai_training_eu_user_posts/
I've tried something new today.
Instead of filing my next privacy complaint straight away, I sent it to the heads of the offending organization first. I also demanded a formal apology for not respecting my privacy rights, full transparency, and a description of what they will do to comply with privacy law in the future. Or else.
Let's see if they are willing to learn something. I gave them two weeks to decide.
