💡 Wikipedia is now subject to the GDPR

In May, the Italian GPDP (Guarantor for the Protection of Privacy) has established that the GDPR also applies to Wikipedia, despite it being located in the USA.

In fact, the online encyclopedia has sections made available in the languages used in the European Union and as a result is considered as a company which offers services tailored for the #EU citizens, who are protected by the #GDPR. So, despite #Wikipedia's opposition, Italy enforced the deindicization of some sensible pages within 40 days in order to protect the #privacy of the involved EU citizen.
