A thorough article on the current challenges, technically and ethically, regarding the use of elsewhere published public data that can be regarded as 'personal data' in the GDPR/DSGVO sense.

Oh, Matthias did it again: Publishing one of his thorough articles on the challenges of designing/working with "the web".
