On the front page at the moment there’s an Askreddit question ‘*what is the horniest thing you’ve done that you regret?*. Apt contender here.
That’s a data privacy breach if ever I heard it, he needs the book thrown at him
Is breaching GDPR a serious thing legally speaking? I had the groceries delivery guy message me once after he dropped off my shopping.
Hopefully will be bankrupted by the GDPR fine and jailed for stalking.
Wow, I never saw **that** one coming when the great data theft started…
Should be fined under data protection laws. Absolutely not acceptable for these creeps to have no consequences.
This happened last year, there was a long thread on here about a barman who fancied a girl and got her details off the list in the pub.
Which is why people used the NHS app to check in, since it is anonymised.
How/why does the owner of anywhere that has track and trace have access to this info anyway?
And this is why I never put my actual number on those things, let alone my address. Most people wouldn’t use that information to sexually harass me. Some would. There’s no way to tell the two apart and I’m not prepared to risk sexual harassment or assault.
I don’t have the COVID app either. I live in a flat above a business. I’d end up pinged from a customer that I hadn’t even met.
This pub is 500 yards down the road from my flat and apparently he’s been a bit of a creep before to people.
Still can’t believe he’d be this fucking stupid.
We’ve stopped going in there because of it, stupid creepy bastard.
I work for a company that has its products delivered. In this case, a bed.
One of the delivery men decided to whatsapp a female customer. Along the lines of “ur fit” and “want to test the bed”.
Her husband wasn’t best pleased about that.
The delivery man was fired before he even got back to the depot.
“Can I ask if you won’t take it further” oh boy the landlord knows he’s fucked around and is about to find out
So, about the Tories’ plans to water down the GDPR.. No, it needs to be even stricter. The fact that pubs & restaurants could just give out a form that anyone can read from the pub workers to the guests is a seriously problematic issue. I used to fill in fake names and mobile phones. People who always say “we have nothing to hide” in opposition to data privacy rights laws, this is the kind of shit you allow.
A bouncer did this to my gf in a pub we go to quite often. We reported it and do you think they sacked him? Did they fuck.
Astounded this hasn’t happened before. Eve. Just going to the barbers I know the phone number and name of the people going in just before and after me. Crazy.
I’ve seen this all play out, and aside from what he did being creepy, gross and a total breach of GDPR, what I’m the most baffled by is him issuing a statement on it.
I know he’s quite fond of press and has been in the local press quite a lot with Covid and pubs struggling etc.
But to put a statement out (and one directly to the media) *a month* later, when 80% of people have already forgotten about it, and the other 20% are never going to and you’ll never win them back, is totally stupid.
Let alone a crap one, that literally confirms the allegation. His engaged, and a vicar. Like he basically gift wrapped this story to the press. Again this happened like a month ago and no one picked it up *until he started making noise about it*.
Now all he’s gotten is national media coverage and his name/face and business next to the word pervert when people search for his boozer.
Personally I think what he did was indefensible. But I can’t get over the sheer stupidity of drawing more attention to it and volunteering a mea culpa to the media, and the people that were never going to stop being angry at you
That would be a breach of GDPR, you could buy dlapped a fairly serious fine for that.
Information gathered for an limited defined purpose.
“I’m sorry I don’t have a smartphone” here are some fake details written down.
It’s literally that simple…
Won’t be the first. Won’t be the last.
Worlds just full of weirdo’s.
and vaccine passports will only embolden such pervs
Oh that towns locals must be having massive gossip sessions right about now. Lol
I’m frankly amazed that I’ve only read a handful of these stories.
I expected this to be a more widespread problem.
Though maybe many cases aren’t hitting the papers.
Our local pubs just have a sheet, open for all to see, on which they request you put your personal information.
Lol
I put a false name and number. Fuck that noise.
The guy who fixed my oven did this to me. Must have got my details off the paperwork. Was even more unnerving because obviously he knew where I lived.
I mean, it looks like such a classy place too. Who’d have thunk it.
This exact scenario was pointed out as a flaw with how the government were asking for this to be done as soon as it was announced. Not by people saying there shouldn’t be precautions taking at all, not by people crowing about how wearing a mask is comparable to the holocaust. By people who supported the idea of a robust track and trace system, but recognised how relying on a bunch of places with no previous history of data privacy culture or even training to suddenly be able to responsibly handle the kinds of personal information they were asking for was unrealistic. It’s the story of the pandemic in the UK. At every turn, the government actively whose to make the worse decision even though they were presented with better ones and told the problems with the solution they chose immediately but in the moment they got away with it by deflecting or straw manning and later on they just gaslit everyone that the problems were unforeseen.
