Everything related to the #GDPR is discussed here. This is the first and only community specifically for GDPR topics which is decentralized and outside of walled-gardens. #EDPB recommendations and guidance can and should also be discussed here.

For the moment, chatter on the similar California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) could be discussed at least until the volume of messages compels us to split it into a separate community.

“Invite a friend” schemes found to violate the GDPR. Nice. Now what about when a friend uploads their address book to a shitty ad surveillance corp? (gdprhub.eu)

The two situations are kind of similar. Whether a friend is using an “Invite a friend” mechanism or they are syncing their address book, either way their shitty choice of controller is getting my personal data. And in both cases the data controller proactively implements code to facilitate the sharing.

Also seems to reinforce my previous conjecture: E-mail fundamentally incompatible with the GDPR

I suppose the difference is that invite-a-friend is purely a data share, whereas other cases are to facilitate the data subject’s use of the service.
