Rise and Fall of Hosting Provider Gandi.net

https://gagliardoni.net/#20260528_gandi_downfall

The sad story of Gandi.net is a textbook example of enshittification, which I think is interesting to talk about, because of the many expectations that were betrayed, and the deeper reflection linking to vampire capitalism. I also report the user-hostile process that I had to undergo in order to migrate away from them.

"Rights groups are appalled at data regulators backing Meta in yet another case of a privacy breach.

A Norwegian citizen lodged a complaint in 2024 against Meta, owner of Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp, for the processing of personal data for marketing purposes.

The complaint was passed on to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), since Meta’s European headquarters are located there. In April this year, the Irish supervisory body for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) asked the complainant to settle with Meta.

The complainant refused.

The European Data Protection Board’s (EDPB) guidelines on settlements don’t allow for hush money to close a case when the issue affects a large number of data subjects.

Since Mark Zuckerberg’s tech giant started using a model in which those using the free-version of Meta’s apps had to deal with personalised adverts, EDPB has also stated that ‘Pay-or-Consent’ policies are incompatible with GDPR requirements for free, valid consent."
