RE: esq.social/@SuffolkLITLab/1160…
For Big Tech, “deleted” means setting deleted = false to deleted = true.

TL;DR: In a significant abduction case, Google was able to recover Nest video footage that users typically lose after three hours of free storage, raising questions about data retention and privacy. https://arstechnica.SuffolkLITLab (esq.social)

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •Can confirm. At work, when I write SQL doing data analysis, I often have to write
select * from …
where is_deleted is not true
Otherwise, without that where filter, I would count database rows that allegedly no longer exist.
In some cases, a company in Germany is legally required to keep data around after "deletion" for up to 10 years.
In other cases, a company just might not want to throw away data that might prove valuable some day.
I would put Nest videos in the latter category.
In all cases, a user should be aware of what you said: that deletion just hides his data from him, but the data remains accessible in the database for the company.

in reply to Orca 🌻 | 🎀 | 🪁 | 🏴🏳️⚧️ • • •@Orca European law also forbids police officers to deny entry at the border and send away people who seek asylum. It is not the task of a police officer to decide over asylum. Police officers have to let asylum seekers into the country and let the appropriate people decide over asylum. If somebody doesn't meet the requirements for asylum, they may then be expelled from the country, but they may never be denied entry in the first place.
Yet that happens every day.
It is even forbidden by European law to "just" search people who cross the border. For example, when you take a train from France to Germany.
Yet that happens (presumably) every day. German police officers would enter the train at some stop near the border, ask people for their papers (suspiciously always only the brown people), and leave the train at the next stop.
German law apparently contradicts European law. A German police officer that I know (not a border police officer) genuinely thinks this is legal accord

German ministers of the interior (Thomas de Maizière, Horst Seehofer, Nancy Faeser, Alexander Dobrindt) and their subordinates (police officers) are breaking this European law at least since 2015. My police officer acquaintance seriously said it cannot be illegal—nor true—what I say because they (German police) have been doing it this way for over 10 years now. As if a violation of the law would at some point become legal if you just did it for long enough.
My point is: Contradictions between European and national law are all over the place.
