Hey mastodon admins, the 25th may is coming closer and so the #GDPR. I don't think the Data Protection Authorities will be a big problem at the moment, they are also overwhelmed by the new regulations and they would try to solve the problem in a favorable way before sanctioning an instance.
The real problem will be lawyers trying to gain money from instances which don't follow the regulations imposed by the GDPR. So the big question is, what do we need to do to comply these rules? #mastoadmin
@leah of course we should. But GDPR is such a big maze. But I don't think we get US-like lawsuits in the EU... So don't worry too much!
@xvilo well, I'm from germany, so we have a small problem with that kind of lawyers. In the past there was a big problem for free wifi for example because of a thing called "Störerhaftung" which means you are liable for what others do over your internet connection. So I think there are a lot of lawyers here waiting for this.
