I hope Jim never wants to use anything any of use has written here to make more money. Once you hit “POST” it belongs to Jim. Everything on your about page and everything political and social that a buyer could glean off the information stored in basic html on Jim’s backups.
Kinda like trusting Trump with all your private info vs, trusting Obamma with it, ey?
Hopefully Jim wont turn FreeRepublic into FakeBook! I feel pretty secure here as long as I have 1 or 2 canoe accidents a year.
The European Data protection Law GDPR which goes into effect in a couple of months will create a big problem for them as all personal data they have currently will come under a very stiff penalty for abuse of it and much more
Take a look at it, in the business side of things companies who do not comply are in some deep doo doo and with the volume of the material they already have compliance will not be cheap
Hoisted on their own petard as it were
Note about Jim and his practices which are great, this is a European Standard for Data Protection.
