First of all, I couldn't respond earlier since Butterfly thought it was necessary to ban me.
Second of all, I want to address Depp (the site owner) with this post. If I don't, Butterfly will remove me since she is tired of this conversation. Depp hasn't been online in two months, so we'll see how this goes.
I don't understand why many of you think getdare does not have to comply with the GDPR. The source I posted earlier is pretty clear on that. Also, getdare does certainly process personal data. As soon as you want to register you have to enter your birthdate, your emailadress is required and more information is potentionally gathered (IP addresses for sure). All of these are personal data. And it certainly uses Google services for analytics that are not configured to anonimize your data.
Someone mentioned getdare does not use ads, it certainly does (juicyads). Those set (tracking) cookies. Furthermore, getdare accepts payments from EU citizens. See
https://www.getdare.com/bbs/payments.php, so it certainly does do bussiness in the EU.
Getdare should comply with GDPR and not like it happened in this thread:
https://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=378454. At the very least there should be a cookiewall (
https://www.cookiebot.com/en/cookie-...SAAEgLRA_D_BwE), but it obviously goes a bit further than that.
Getdare has about 300.000 registered members (easily visible if you increase the parameter when visiting a random profile, see user no 300.000
https://www.getdare.com/bbs/member.php?u=300000). That's quite a lot and the database would be quite a goldmine for every hacker, especially because of the sensitive nature of the site. Remember the hacks of Adult Friend Finder and the likes in the past?
Our online privacy is a great thing and even with a little bit of data you can find a lot. That's exactly why the GDPR came around, to give us some control back. If anything, getdare should out of goodwill implement policies that comply with the GDPR. And if you ask why or if you tell me getdare is too small to be enforced, I ask you why not and to philosophize with me why the law (any law) should not apply to the little ones (sites, persons etc).
On another note, getdare is running on deprecated software. It is running on vBulletin 3.8.11, according to
https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vb...ulletin-3-8-11 it is end of life:

vBulletin 3 is end of life and will not be receiving future development. Warning: vBulletin 3.8.11 is not compatible with PHP 7.2.0 or higher.

This also means getdare uses PHP (the programming language vbulletin is written in) lower than 7.2. All PHP versions lower than 7.2 are end of life (
https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php). Even 7.2 will be end of life before the end of this year. This means neither used vBulletin nor PHP receive security updates anymore, this is very dangerous (every serious programmer will tell you so).
Enough about the GDPR, about lying in ads.
In
https://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=362478 it is stated that honesty is encouraged, but you may lie. What kind of rule is that? Change it to either "do not lie" or "lie all you want".
Why does getdare ban underage users, but does nothing to liars? I suppose they don't want underage users here because it's against the law and because they can't give consent (and I'm fully behind banning underage users, don't get me wrong). As the rules in the link mentioned state, consent is important. I did not give consent to someone to lie about their gender, age or intentions. This is tricking someone into doing things they would not have done if they had the right information. I'm sure lots of you don't mind and might even get off on it, but not everyone does. Yes, I agree everyone has their own responsibilities and should decide for themselves if they deem someone thrustworthy or not and getdare does not have to go into full detective mode for every ad. But if users post warnings and if it's so clear a user lies, it would take little effort to do something about it.
Also stated in the link above, posts promoting illegal activities will be removed. Really? See
https://www.getdare.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=380251, this person promotes incest. Why is this post still there? Don't get fancy and tell me this user does not tell you to engage into incest... She does, or why else does she want you to live with your parents or sister. In her other ads, users have warned about her being a scammer. Do we really want people like her on getdare?
