I'll pass on this concern, but generally I trust Fedora Legal to take these things into account. Also, please do note that this is not a change -- it appears in the current privacy policy as well. <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:PrivacyPolicy> > You might not be aware about it, but almost all recent changes in > "Terms of Usage" of US-internet enterprises (Facebook, Twitter, > netflix, Google and esp. *Microsoft*) have been subject to fierce > opposition from the EU and caused severe damage to all these > enterprises. But our privacy policy is not "terms of use", nor is it modeled on those companies. Is there anything in specific you are worried about causing damage (severe or otherwise), beyond the concern about EU data privacy laws and not wanting us to use third parties for research? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
