    This is just FUD. The ruling has nothing to do with federation, and there is no reason why GDPR would prevent content sharing when the user has explicitly agreed to their posts being shared with other servers.

    I thought the thumbnail was a pile of bratwurst sausages in the grass…

    That’s mostly just speculation and it needs someone to sue for it to become relevant 🤷

      It’s not only speculation, the whole argument is based on implications that this court ruling might in some cases contradict other court rulings and established law.

      “… the ruling suggests much stronger responsibilities for social networking platforms, and the proactive monitoring and filtering of uploads is a difficult responsibility for most of the services that operate on the open procotols.”

      So this means basically nothing for now until the legal aspect is sorted out and laws explicitly defining the responsibilities of social media platforms are harmonised with this ruling (or not…).
