Lots of recommendations to get a lawyer to handle complex issues...
I have to say: legal compliance is an incredibly low bar, even from the perspective of international privacy law.
Example: after watching for more than an hour I just heard the first mention of encryption.
I'm watching the Data Privacy Day 2020 live stream (https://staysafeonline.org/dpd20-live/) and I've spent about half of the time yelling at my screen.
There have been a few great speakers and panelists, but the demographic skews really heavily to the corporate/lawyer side of things.
If these are really the most authoritative voices they could find on the topic I can't imagine they spent a long time looking.
Happy Republic day #india

CryptPad continues to be the *only* app suite that takes user privacy seriously.
Think 'Google Docs' but without mining and selling your personal data. https://twitter.com/cryptpad/status/1220046500341977088

We've tagged CryptPad v3.9.0 on GitHub (https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/3.9.0).
It includes relatively few bug fixes and features. Instead, we worked to simplify and standardize server configuration for the 300+ other admins hosting CryptPad.

CryptPad v3.8.0 introduces the ability to suppress notifications from users that annoy you and to invite users to teams via one-time-use links. This is our last release of the year, as we'll be taking some time to gear up for 2020!

CryptPad v3.7.0 is named after the presumed-extinct Himalayan Quail. It introduces gantt charts via an improved mermaidjs integration as well as a streamlined sharing menu. Try it on https://cryptpad.fr and see the release notes on GitHub: https://github.com/xwiki-labs/cryptpad/releases/tag/3.7.0 #privacy
I'm pretty sure the number of follows I've gotten on Keybase has grown 2-3x since they launched their cryptocoin airdrop. I'm also fairly sure that indicates a botnet looking to fool whatever social graph metric they have for proving that accounts are owned by real people.
Still, I bet they could get another few rounds of funding before VCs realize how inflated the user counts are.
So, botnet scammers trying to take advantage of their free money might get leveraged into an exit scam.
Smart.

banking, cryptocurrency commentary
99ish% of the time I think cryptocurrencies are a stupid waste of electricity.
...that said, every now and then I need to make a large payment which is both legal and well within my budget, but is almost invariably declined due to a decision made by a completely unaccountable algorithm.
Getting a response from my bank seems to take at least 48 hours, if they respond at all.
Imagine setting the bar so low that a bunch of libertarians could trip over it. wow.

September has been our best month ever for premium subscriptions on http://CryptPad.fr! We've received 965 Euros so far. It's silly, but our accountant would love to have a nice number. One more team subscription would put us over 1000!

CryptPad 3.0.0 featured a few minor server changes that made a big difference in memory usage.
Our next few releases should continue to improve performance, in case you needed more reason to update.
