I understand this is hard to prove without doxxing. This situation is very concerning, and if true absolutely disgusting.

I don’t see much proof. Did anyone corroborate?

Wait what? Do you have a source for this?

Shizuku is open source and safe in and of itself. The apps that make use of it however have the potential to do a lot of stuff, which is the point, and so must be checked thoroughly.

Genuine question: which ones?

Email works the same way. Once your data is received by the other party, you cannot delete it.

Public mailing lists have a very similar behaviour to the fediverse’s. I am not aware of any credible GDPR cases against those, although it may happen down the line, we’ll see.

Even if it is, this data is not processed in a way that would violate the law, unless the hosting party is doing something shady. It would be an incredible stretch to consider that a website only asking for a username to attach to a user somehow violates GDPR.

Lemmy instances do not by default collect any data protected under GDPR.

I’ll have to look that up, never heard of it. Looks bad.

How so ?

Yeah, I would recommend you ditch brave while you’re at it : link

Do we have any indication they are trustworthy?
