  • In a practical sense, I can tell you that in mobile apps, some parts of gdpr are implemented based on phone language settings or in the case of websites, the domain suffix of the page (.fr or .de, etc). I’m guessing this is an interpretation of the section described here:

    strong indications that a non-EU business is intentionally offering goods or services to data subjects in the EU and may therefore be subject to the GDPR:

    • Use of the language of an EU Member State (if the language is different than the language of the business’ home state);4
    • Use of the currency of an EU Member State (if the currency is different than the currency of the business’ home state);
    • Use of a top-level domain name of an EU Member State;
    • Mentions of customers based in an EU Member State; or
    • Targeted advertising to consumers in an EU Member State.

    Most people seem to be leaning toward just applying them to anyone as that’s the way things are headed and once you’ve figure out how to do it technically it’s easier to just do it all the same way. Also, the EU is doing it’s best to set precedent for a broad interpretation.



  • The ad campaign was launched in 1992 by the National Livestock and Meat Board and is funded by the Beef Checkoff Program [USDA program that collects $1 from each sale of a bull, steer, or cow in the US]

    The respondents alleged the government-required fee for advertising was compelled speech and violated their First Amendment right to free speech. The USDA argued the advertising was government speech immune from First Amendment challenge.

    In the 1991 case of Rust v. Sullivan,[4] government-funded doctors in a government health program were not allowed to advise patients on obtaining abortions, and the doctors challenged this law on Free Speech grounds.[1] However, the Court held that because the program was government-funded, the doctors were, therefore, speaking on behalf of the government. Therefore, the government could say what it wishes, and “the Government has not discriminated based on viewpoint; it has merely chosen to fund one activity to the exclusion of the other."[5]

    So it is a tax on trade in live cattle, earmarked for advertising, challenged by cattle owners on the grounds that it forces them to support a message contrary to what they would freely say, which I guess would be “stop eating so much beef?” I didn’t know ranchers were so forward thinking.









  • I love this and have had similar thoughts in relation to my non verbal kid wanting to keep memories in a way they can point out different parts and link together multiple things to make new stories or comments or hypotheticals. Important to have the context and the parts and named things all relating together. I don’t know much about it, but there is a thing called “sidecar” file that can be associated with media. There are some moves to make EXIF data more standardized. So there’s a chance this could be done in an open format.
