@manton @sod @manton yeah it’s just sad. But it’s a regular practice for layers around here. A project for electric charging I participate it was sued for more than 10.000€ (initially 45k) for using a photo that the photographer allowed to use(!) but the lawyer who was originally in charge to protect the „copyright“ of said photographer still wanted the money. We lost and had to pay. German article describing everything: [netzpolitik.org/2021/nur-...](https://netzpolitik.org/2021/nur-ein-foto-bei-twitter-wir-fordern-das-ende-des-abmahn-unwesens/)

@manton @jean Hey there! 👋🏻 I really love the idea of micro.blog and i WISH i could use it properly but german data-protection laws (which go beyond GDPR) require just so much data to be present inside my Data Policy that i am shying away from using it :-(

Are there any resources about legal usage if micro.blog in the EU? Inside the EU, a ton of people are currently being sued over usage of Google Fonts, which transmits the IP address of the visitor to the U.S. A colleage had to pay ~$800 in fines. That why i am so hesistant :-/

Any ideas?

Greetings from southern Germany!
