Security related issues should go through responsible disclosure and it's up to the maintainer to provide such a process or the recently flurry of "opportunistic whitehats" will continue to spam your issues and require triaging..

Github provides a process for this under the "Security" tab: https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/security as an example..

I find that by having a documented process it filters out a decent amount of time wasters.

Do we all need a competitor to Alphabet/Google? I'd say yes, I don't think Alphabet is behaving fairly.

Santander and Caixa are perfect examples of how to terribly handle fraudulent payment disputes. I worked in the industry is it's kinda well known they don't even follow scheme (Visa/MC) requirements and when you ask them to escalate to scheme they gaslight you.

Knowing this is the hoops you have to jump through in .es means it makes sense they don't have a robust anti-fraud process outside of .es.

RE "next-gen" "every day" "everywhere car" I can't comment because they don't really make a quantifiable point.

RE Charging: In the UK we had charge at home infrasatructure w/ .gov compensation and charging points at businesses/supermarkets/petrol stations way before a specific branded Supercharger infrastructure started arriving.

RE "whole automation": What do you mean? What point of Tesla is more automated than an Audi or BMW for a UK daily commute? Autopilot simply doesn't work for the vast majority of UK commutes and has been shown to be a poorly operating application with a potential incoming ban.

I think it's important not to rewrite history to fit a narrative.

I agree w/ the "best" argument but I don't agree with the "first to market" argument.... There were a notable amount of electric cars in the UK before Tesla became a thing. Perhaps things in .de are different..

I did notice in Berlin just a few weeks ago that you guys don't really seem to be pushing for clean air zones in major cities unlike a lot of the UK which given your progressive population came as a surprise to me.

That's how I play the game, you get on first name basis with people too that way..

I asked them to check it(the privacy URL) and validate it wasn't user error and they accused me of "wasting their time"...

No need to apologize, I'm just trying to get clarity if I'm right to call them out or not..

I have one option at 30 euros (this) and another at 60 euros (movistar).

There are others but they have a terrible reputation.

Given that the privacy policy is linked from the contract, can I assume that they will just say "you need to refer to the URL in the contract" and as that URL is non-existent I'm basically not able to protect my rights or does it work the other way?

In the privacy policy it states "We may share information with our business partners to offer you certain products, services or promotions", it doesn't explicitly state who they are..

 

The company is "Freedom Internet" in St. Cruz, Tenerife.

I've posted a review calling them out but they are stating:

  1. What they are doing is entirely legal <-- Source for pre-ticked checkboxes: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/top-european-court-rules-pre-checked-cookie-consent-boxes-invalid -- Source for not having a privacy policy that is referenced in contract: https://gdpr.eu/data-privacy/
  2. That the contract states they only share information with installers so they can provide the service... <-- this is an outright lie as per the privacy policy.

Can anyone tell me if the above is true?

They agreed to remove clause #2 (promotional offers) but said 1 and 3 checkboxes must be kept.

Also, can anyone access their privacy policy? I reported it as being a faulty URL but they state it works..

FWIW; this is not a practical problem, it's a political one. Conversion kits don't get a pass/by from the law, they are subject to the same laws just like home brew conversions.

Fun fact: In the UK there is no ability (DVSA/DVLA[requirement to legally taxing/insuring a car]) for legally driving a converted ICE to Electric car. This is due to the MOT test having a test for CO2 and if the test returns null or "out of bounds" the car fails it's MOT and therefore is illegal to drive.

Such a wonderful country.
