ActivityPub is the underlying protocol both are built on - it’s what allows posts from lemmy to propagate and be interacted with on kbin and mastodon users comment on both via their existing accounts. Think of it as like email protocol but for social media.
The GDPR itself doesn’t use the term organisation, it refers to data controllers and data processors.
A “data controller” refers to a person, company, or other body which decides the purposes and methods of processing personal data.
A “data processor” refers to a person, company, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of a data controller.
As someone from within the EU working in data the fediverse is absolutely not a long way off having to consider this, GDPR impacts even the smallest businesses or voluntary groups - it’s just how we handle data.
To make it easier to grasp GDPR is about your rights over your data, those don’t change depending on who is processing it, nor does the processors obligation, however what would be considered appropriate safeguards would scale with the size and intent of your organisation - it would be silly for my local shop to have a data protection officer.
I suppose the question would become who is the controller, is it the person who provides the software or the person who provides the servers? Typically it’s the servers.
I totally get this, the quality of experience on kbin tanked when federation was brought back up because of those instances, I might move over here yet
That article is dirt, it makes wild accusations purely based on not understanding how the Irish legislative process works, or more likely assuming it’s readership doesn’t. Its not going to do any good here because it reads like something a nutter would put together when you do have at least the gist of the system.
If you actually want to have an impact share things more in line with the iccl statement and if you’re Irish talk to your local politician, that noyb article doing the rounds will do nobody any favours.
