@DifferentDrummer it's not a crime to lie to a computer program (usually)

@DifferentDrummer brazil is in Europe

@DifferentDrummer
@mos_8502 Should be the only answer these days.

@DifferentDrummer lying about living in a country with better privacy laws is the new lying about your age

@DifferentDrummer Honestly if they have to even ask about whether you live in a place with strong data privacy laws at all I'd lean towards the correct answer being to uninstall and refund the software entirely.

@DifferentDrummer unless it is your browser, because you will be spammed with cookie consent banners EVERYWHERE 😂

@DifferentDrummer This is the samsung ssd magician tool isn't it? xd
it's the first place i ever saw this popup

@DifferentDrummer inb4 they call it illegal circumvention under dmca

@DifferentDrummer MSI Afterburner I'm guessing? I might even block the application at the firewall level to prevent it from sending anything.

@DifferentDrummer@syzito.xyz

If you ever get asked this by some software, the answer is always YES uninstall it immediately

@DifferentDrummer Yes Mister Software I am extremely Brazil and also simultaneously very Europe, how did you know to ask me that?

@DifferentDrummer You are "Brazil"? The whole country? Just you?

Or did you mean the movie ... ?

@DifferentDrummer LOL! Nah, I'll still say I'm in the US. I know so many don't like what's about to happen though and it's quite saddening to say the least (not to mention it much here, but...).

@DifferentDrummer

If I remember my GDPR compliance training, it should say resident OR citizen.

But also, check yes.

@DifferentDrummer if software has to ask, better believe it cannot enforce whatever crap it's peddling

@DifferentDrummer wait why tho

@DifferentDrummer It's horrible that this pop-up even exists •~•

@DifferentDrummer

@DifferentDrummer Also the way that question is phrased indicates that whoever wrote it doesn't understand the scope of at least the GDPR. (Don't know about Brazil.)

@DifferentDrummer@syzito.xyz i hate how i know where this is from
and it's from fucking "Samsung disk magician"
of all things

@DifferentDrummer "Do you have a private life?"

@DifferentDrummer Smasnug Magician?

@DifferentDrummer @june

@DifferentDrummer yes i am Brazil

@DifferentDrummer Answering "Yes" might lead to one of two outcomes that may disappoint some viewers:

A. The server begins to return HTTP 451 responses stating "We're sorry. We are currently not licensed to trade in European Union member states, Britain, or Brazil."

B. "Handling fee: Local representative pursuant to article 27 GDPR" appears in the user's shopping cart.
