GDPR complaints against 6 companies

Some of these companies are familiar to you, some may not.

Kimn Komando has mentioned some of these companies in prior minutes and probably in podcasts, urging people not to either buy or use the apps because of potential shady practices.

I want to use potential because I’ve not used these applications at all, but we know that at least some of these applications are a problem and we’ve talked about it on our podcast

Have you heard of these companies before?

Non-profit privacy advocacy group “None of Your Business” (noyb) has filed six complaints against TikTok, AliExpress, SHEIN, Temu, WeChat, and Xiaomi, for unlawfully transferring European user’s data to China and infringing European Union’s general data protection regulation (GDPR).

This podcast talked about TikTok and Temu, and with potential new s of TikTok and the U.S., this will get interesting.

In the documents, the non-profit highlights that China collects citizen data aggressively and processes it without restrictions, which is against European Union’s data protection law.

China has always said that they don’t cleect jack shit on us, and that all of the claims are fucking false. Kim’s been sounding the alarm for months, and now … with the 4 percent revenue, TikTok and others could be paying billions.

According to the GDPR, data transfers outside the European space should only be allowed as exceptions, and proof that the data is strictly protected from unauthorized state (or other) access needs to be produced.

Why would these companies care about that? I do and I’m not in these countries.

According to noyb, the Chinese companies are in violation of Chapter V of the GDPR, specifically Articles 44 (general transfer principles), 46 (lack of safeguards), and 46 (1) (failure to conduct adequate impact assessments).

To top it all off,

noyb underlines that Xiaomi has previously admitted through public transparency reports that authorities in China can request and obtain “unlimited” to personal user data.

Not that it matters to these companies and I stated it earlier,

For Xiaomi and Temu, the fines could reach a maximum of $1.75 and $1.35 billion respectively.

Good job, you stupid fucks! At least I wised up and found that I needed to do something about the fact that changes needed to be made when I saw something I did not like.

leeping Computer has contacted the affected companies and will update if they decide to ever respond which I doubt they will.
