I've switched that function off within Facebook. ..there's a specific item in privacy. If they continued to do it afterwards then it's against my specific declaration. That's illegal. I know that clearly doesn't matter to them but that's what the ICO is supposedly for.

Of course the current fines will mean little to Facebook .... take the 50 million figure being quoted. Even if all of these individuals pay the 10 quid foi request to prove it; Facebook would actually make a profit after fines off FOI requests alone lol
Under GDPR the information requests will be free, and the fine will be a maximum of 4% of turnover
 
I personally don't think any company should be allowed to sell, trade, or giveaway your data to another company without first getting your specific approval to share that data with that specific company. (No general catchalls allowed).

Sure, they can say "can't use our service without signing away rights" and a lot of people will sign without thinking... But I feel like any barrier to make corporations sharing data, any barrier that makes it harder to cross should be considered.

Make it a pain to share data with a new company because it requires an extra approval. Allow the consumer to back out of the approval at any time too.
That's coming into force in Europe in May this year. But also means organisations based outside the EU that offer goods or services to EU residents, monitor their behaviour or process their personal data will be subject to the GDPR. ''Service providers (data processors) that process data on behalf of an organisation come under the remit of the GDPR and will have specific compliance obligations. An example might be a company that processes your payroll or a Cloud provider that offers data storage.''

I agree with all of the above. my particular point is while americans are dancing up and down about russia as are the UK.... well... we are seeing that theres far more local sources
 
Apparently this time the resource officer ran towards the gunfire. ..

Weirdly shot the guy as he was trying to shoot himself but hey ho
Hmm that is a hard one, if you kill somebody who is trying to commit suicide does that count as murder or self defence?
 
btw the officer looks like a right psycho

you'd have to be a bit fruitloops to go on a shooting spree with a ****er like that round campus.

only two dead/wounded or whatever
 
Police kill an American citizen every seven hours.....Police are indicted in less than 1% of these killings

Does the citizen have a gun?

I have never been to America but if I went and a cop told me to "freeze", I would.
Lets be honest, every one knows the cops carry guns and all the cops expect people who run are bad guys so, if you were a cop would you have it in your mind that a bad guy is probably carrying a gun because I would.
The whole country is a paranoid nut house and there is little surprise in the death rates.

"He moved the gun upwards.... I felt my life was in danger so BAM!"

I mean if a cop can shoot an unarmed guy crawling towards him on his hands and knees and claim self defence they can probably do anything lol.
