== Push for EU standards ==

There seems to be a wide push for USA companies to apply the standards of the GDPR worldwide, for all users: https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-facebook-ceo-privacy-exclusive/exclusive-facebook-ceo-stops-short-of-extending-european-privacy-globally-idUKKCN1HA2MN

The implications of GDPR may be unclear for our free software, but it would still be helpful if Wikimedia Foundation were ready to answer similar questions. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 06:06, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

When I uploaded some photos taken using my smartphone I didn’t realise that the wikiMedia website would display all the EXIF metadata from the camera. Please can you add a privacy feature to the user account to hide camera make and model information for my contributions Adrian816 (talk) 14:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
