Ready for another joke? 🥁

The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies ( , , , , ,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡

It was argued the data was safe under EU law as the MS were situated in Ireland.....

Lets talk London, Zurich then, or Hong Kong and everywhere there is HSBC.

The problem with the law is that if the people do not enforce it - it is just a "guidelines" or "recommendations". And for all I see most people does not even understand the law, even less to keep the judges or politicians accountable for.

Boundaries exist, a different matter is where they are set by each law, and on each jurisdiction, and how enforcement is done. But neither of those changes how it works.

The USA is not a really good example because it lost the rule of law, some years ago.

How would you characterize the Law in the Panama papers, 2008 economic crash and Epstein case ?

From practice ... Law is an open door in a field, not a fence. What boundaries you mean?

I believe to construct my own fence to protect myself.

Law sets boundaries that agreements/contracts can't pass.

Nobody can't do anything about it. They offer you a ToS that technically says we own your DNA please accept, and there is no other way to use their services.

The solution is OSS. Host your stuff and cut all the Big Tech out.

With one second hand server you can host your mail, cloud, website, xmmp server, mastodon instance and crypto nodes.
