The EC said Google had proposed to provide electoral look up services for citizens to help in Commission's efforts for better electoral information services.
What's wrong with that?
Are you affiliated with any of the local companies lobbying to get that contract instead?
I understand what the author is trying to say but there is an awful lot of "perhaps" punctuating all the G+ bashing he manages to fit in that post. I'm guessing the relevant evidence will be reveled in court.
Also worth discussing if an invitation email, automated or otherwise, should be considered a restraining order violation.
I'm surprised of much of the comments here, I'll chalk it up to ignorance, but every start up and company in the world should be wishing for this EU privacy fundamentalism to die. And grandstanding politician to get in grips with reality. Yeah NSA and some other state actors have done fucked up but that law does nothing to curtail government surveillance it instead introduces unreasonable limits and restrictions on innovation and even basic function. Indirectly balkanize data flow and introducing more cookies law style useless notices is the least of it. It's seemingly vindictive against US companies and an miscalculated move to grant an advantage to local ones disguised as reform.
This is basically a ploy by someone who is seeking publicity for his attack on this other individual by taking his words out of context and altering their meaning.
His is a repost under another date of the same bat-shit crazy "nothing" that makes Gawker seem reasonable.
The author is an attention monger who probably has some sort of a personal vendetta against the person he is attacking, I suggest not to take his account of things on face value.
