@flowinho Wow, that sounds way out of proportion. But if I read the article right, Ladefuchs consciously took the risk of using someone else's photograph without permission? So there actually was a copyright infringement. It's just that the fee was way high, considering the circumstances? (Sorry about those naive questions, but my understanding of German is very basic, so I have to rely on translation software.)

@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!
