But that's not what a GDPR declaration is about at all. It doesn't have anything to do with what the entity who gets the data claims they are or are not doing with it. Only with whether or not they get the data. I don't know or care whether Google is automatically scanning the content for the purpose of showing advertising or not, really. But that's not the question here at all. > I'll make the assumption that, were this to have changed, a number > of large businesses would've been upset and there would've been > media reports and potentially legal proceedings.

Google (and Facebook et al) have been "caught" doing all sorts of stuff with user data all the time. It does make the news. Frequently. https://www.theverge.com/interface is a good column if you want to keep up with this sort of stuff. But, regardless, it *doesn't matter*. If you're going to make a declaration about who's getting the data, it should be accurate. It doesn't matter what those entities are or are not doing with it, because that's not what your declaration said, it didn't say "this data is only being given to third parties who pinky-swear not to automatically scan it for advertising purposes", it said "The raw data will not be provided to anyone else at Red Hat or any 3rd parties". -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
