Here's a string of tweets I wrote this morning, a topic that's dear to me, but I never found the time to make a concise blog post out of it. So for now, the raw bites. (Not to diss Flash or the Flash-developers or the creative work that got acomplished back then and helped to…
Chopper-Dad: Was?! Wieso soll ich ein Verfahrensverzeichnis machen?!! Chopper-Son: Naja weil Du regelmässig Gehalt zahlst und somit auch Geburtsdatum, Bankverbindung und Religionszugehörigkeit verarbeitest… Chopper-Dad: Moment mal, wir sind drei Leute und bauen Motorräder, keine Datenhändler, das kann ja wohl so nicht ganz richtig sein!! Chopper-Son: Das ist egal, denn Du machst diese Verarbeitung eben "nicht…
Chopper-Dad: Sag' mal, hast Du da so'n Text, wir müssen was auf meiner Webseite machen, DSGV oder so… Chopper-Son: Weil ich vor 5 Jahren Deine Webseite gemacht habe, soll ich mich nun mit 44seitigen Musterdatenschutzerklärungen rumschlagen, mal eben schnell?! Chopper-Dad: Ja wer macht denn hier was mit Web? Das ist doch Dein Job, woher soll…

It was on the historical date of May 8th, that Mike Monteiro held this intense talk, reminding each and everyone who cared to listen of the conseqences and the possible impacts of the "I'm only doing my job here" mentality. This talk gave me several goose bumps, having seen…
A thorough article on the current challenges, technically and ethically, regarding the use of elsewhere published public data that can be regarded as 'personal data' in the GDPR/DSGVO sense.
