GDPR fines can reach up to $20 million dollars. That’s not a business expense. That’s quiet a dent in their quarterly balance sheet. And the EU has issued hefty fines in the past. This is not the USA we’re talking about.

It’s going to be really difficult to anonymize personal posts. FB and Instagram posts often include personal information. Feeding it to AI isn’t going to help as someone might find a way to reproduce it with queries and they get in trouble.

Extremely slow and clunky UI on Android. Music has no star rating as every other software including Plex and Navidrome has. It sometimes starts transcoding for no apparent reason.

Not perfect but the best we’ve got.

Bad source. This is not even the European ToS (it’s VERY different) and the information listed on it isn’t referenced like at all. It’s like asking ChatGPT for an answer.

It’s European law that your personal content gets deleted or completely deanonymized. The latter is in most cases obviously not possible with Facebook or Instagram posts.

Well said

Symfonium is awesome!

It’s not FOSS but Symfonium is by far the best music player for your Android. It has support for every self-hosted source concivable. I used to run Navidrome and I’m not using Jellyfin in the backend.

Are you from the EU? We have an entirely different UI than the US. We get additional options. When you request to delete your account and all the data it gets deleted. I’m confident of that. The EU has given very expensive fines for much less than that.

And what? The EU has a trackrecord of pretty hefty fines. They won’t risk it for this many users.

Https only encrypts the packet content.

What can happen:

TL;DR: Evesdropping, spoofing, device vulnerabilities (e.g. using exposed ports).

• Attackers can listen and log to which servers you’re talking to. This can be combined with the attack explained in the following.
• The can do spoofing attacks by replying to your DNS request with their own IP. For example: you open domain.com and the attacker will not forward domain.com to the trusted DNS server but will instead send you their own IP and website that looks exactly like the website you intent to visit. Since they control this spoofed website they can also intercept all the credentials you enter. If you don’t enter credentials or upload or download stuff, nothing can happen. However you’ll be safe from spoofing attacks in most cases as popular websites use HSTS which hardcodes the IP addresses corresponding to domains result into your browser, bypassing DNS.
• An attacker could exploit device vulnerabilities that are unrelated to https web traffic. So make sure your OS and software are up to date and you don’t have applications running with exposed ports!

A VPN will prevent the first two attacks.

It’s bad. But it’s the best we’ve got.

That’s illegal in Europe.

Where did you get that information from? Their ToS say nothing like that. Stop spreading fake news.

When you delete your account as a European they are legally required to delete everything associated with you or that you created.

Please don’t spread fake news without providing a source.

Even for European users? That seems illegal.

If you want I can hit you up with a couple TB S3 compatible block storage against a small compensation covering electricity. I’ve got about 30TB available of my 64TB that are just doing nothing right now, it’s a shame really. I’m running a TrueNAS homelab in a RaidZ2 with battery backup and proper Firewall and IDS/IPS protection (but I’m not a professional). If that’s fine DM me.
