@pajp yes. German courts ruled that transmitting the IP address of a visitor of your website to the United States is no longer allowed, since Data trust between Europe and the US is ruined. Especially in Germany. European law clearly states that US companies cannot be trusted and EU <> US privacy shield is against the law. I appreciate the ruling but malicious lawyers try to abuse that.

@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!
