@divVerent @kravietz Your assertion that an IP address is "generally considered PII" is entirely false and you cannot provide a citation from any credible source to support that proposition.

I suggest you look up some definitions of PII and then consider the many reasons why an IP address is never included.

Better not to spread misinformation.

@divVerent @kravietz An IP address does NOT identify a person. At best it identifies a device or an Internet connection at a particular moment. It itself reveals nothing about a specifically identifiable person.

I suggest you also look up exemptions from application of GDPR. Individuals and entities not subject to GDPR are not "technically" breaking the law when it simply doesn't apply to them.

@divVerent @kravietz As you are clearly applying what you think "ought to be the case" logic I am done here. Bye.

@divVerent @kravietz Running SSH on your own server is illegal? Got a credible citation for that?

@itsfoss First time I've seen an SD card and and a power supply described as "fantastic accessories". Was this AI generated? Either way, think again and don't insult your readers intelligence.

@aral @Homebrewandhacking @EU_Commission Let us know if you have evidence of your claim a) from more than one airport in one country on one day and b) that it's EU policy.

@Homebrewandhacking @aral @EU_Commission The EU doesn't control any airports. All EU airports are staffed and operated by citizens of member states in accordance with their national laws (these include EU laws). Suggestions that "the EU" is racial profiling because of actions of an official (or officials) in one airport in one country is about as sensible as birthplace profiling. The EU does nothing of the sort.
