Does your country have something similar to the GDPR?
Just curious.
Well, of course the EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA.
My country, Türkiye, has the KVKK. (The Turkish Data Protection Law/Authority)
Does your country have something similar to this?
Current government of Turkey carelessly bans websites without any consideration. (youtube, Wikipedia, twitter were all banned or blocked at times. Are they accessible now?)
Jails people for using encrypted apps or criticizing the government on social media.
iirc it’s the country with the highest number of jailed journalists (or was it the second?)
so, what the heck does KVKK do? It protects who from who?
the bird turkey was imported to English speaking countries from Turkey, hence the name. To Turkey, it was imported from India (Hindistan) and that’s why the same bird is called “hindi” in Turkish.
Portugese sold oranges, you call that fruit “portakal”. Karpuz est le dieu des fruits in ancient greek. All these names have their histories. There are thousands of names like this.
Claiming that the country is insulted because of sharing its name with a bird, Erdogan’s propaganda team distracted most people from real issues.
don’t participate in the pathetic and hyped inferiority complex shit-show. Turkey is Turkey.
India recently introduced Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But, unlike what it sounds, it does more harm than good to the privacy of citizens.
Some of the most contentious issues include the wide-ranging exemptions to the government and its agencies, the dilution of powers of the data protection board, and amendment of the Right to Information Act, that rights groups say will significantly weaken the law.
I have dual citizenship so I put in gdpr requests but my resident country likes to talk about individual rights but then pass laws preferencing legal entities over individuals.
Can you tell me more about Chinas GDPR equivalent? How toothless is it in a country with that much surveillance from cameras to chat surveillance? Can you give cases where people were able to use it to win in court and changing the system the state was running?
Don’t forget Japan has a very similar thing: skadden.com/…/data-protection-in-japan-to-align-w… Actually they casually attended most of the discussion in the EU commission while the GDPR was being drafted.
