    Stupid Netherlands court orders grandmother to remove photos of her grandchildren from Facebook: report

    By James Rogers | Fox News




    A court in the Netherlands has ordered a grandmother to remove photos of her grandchildren from Facebook under a European Union (EU) data protection law, according to a report.

    The court case came after a dispute between the woman and her daughter. The daughter had asked the woman to remove the photos but she refused, the BBC reported.

    The judge’s ruling was made under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was adopted in 2016 and implemented in 2018.

    According to the GDPR website, the court “ruled that it was impossible to establish with certainty that the posting of photos on social media fell under the ‘household exemption’ of Article 2(2)(c) GDPR.”

    The BBC reported that the woman must now pay a fine of €50, or $54.7, per day for every day that she doesn’t comply with the court’s order, up to a maximum of €1,000 ($1,095).

    A number of users on social media voiced their dismay at the court’s ruling.

    “The EU has such dumb laws. GDPR is such a joke,” Jack Smith tweeted.

    “The GDPR, protecting children from the grave harm of *checks notes* grandparents posting pictures of 'em,” quipped user Sean Li.

    My mom and my sister got into a fight after my sister posted a photo on Facebook of our father in his Navy uniform on Memorial Day less than a year after he died (died in Feb 2008, Memorial Day's in May... it's this weekend actually). Our mom was just brokenhearted. My sister deleted her from her friend's list. I texted my sister and told her she was a dumbass, not because she disrespected our mother's feelings, but because our father didn't die while serving our country, which is what Memorial Day's all about. I told her she needed to wait until Veteran's Day in November. Our brother, who's an Air Force veteran, agreed with me. She didn't speak to me or our brother for a month. My brother told me it was one of the most peaceful months he's ever experienced.

    No police or feds were called, and no one sued anybody, by the way.
