As far as I know, no one tried to clone TikTok for the fediverse. But I think the inherent problem is the algorithm. TikTok isn’t like Youtube or any other social network, where you follow people. You have an algorithm that tracks everything you do and watch and then suggests you video based on their topics, less on the people in them. I guess it’d be hard to implement, as many in the fediverse are not keen about tracking.
Wobei sich das Urteil auf die damalige Lösung bezieht - inzwischen kann man auch ohne Abo einen Teil der Verarbeitung ablehnen. Daher wird das vermutlich nicht unmittelbar eine Auswirkung haben für heise, bis die aktuelle Fassung gerichtlich geprüft ist. Relevant dürfte aus dem Urteil höchstens noch der Punkt sein, dass nach einer Zustimmung der Opt-Out wohl schwer ist.
Andere Verlage sollten aber genau drauf schauen, was ihre Cookie Banner hergeben…
Yeah, that’s a bit of a problem in general. But in this case we’re talking about Meta. It’s one thing, if $randomCompany from outside the EU does it. As long as they’re not doing business within the EU and not specifically target the EU as a market, then they might try to get the company and fine them and may or may not succeed.
Meta on the other hand provides service explicitly for EU citizens & companies. Not only did they localize Facebook, Instagram,… for European languages, they offer the service to sell ads for European companies. In this case, the EU can and will have a way to get them fined, I they want.
Fun fact - GDPR is about European persons, not European servers. If an European citizen has a fediverse account on an American/African/Asian/… server and Meta collects all of their data and processes it, they are still in violation of GDPR. Locking European (Instagram) accounts out of Threads doesn’t make them comply magically with GDPR.
Good luck meta, have fun handling all those GDPR requests and proving that Europeans have consented that you suck up all their data…
