Hacking EU Users: Super Ban - GDPR Template

[Benjay]

As usual nowadays on GBA : a pure speculative 34 pages thread...
Did anyone at least tried to contact Nintendo about that GDPR thing ?
If no, then this thread is nothing more than a wind turbine, brewing wind...

 

[kumikochan]

Well i must say the thread became a lot more peaceful after a certain user got banned.

Though I would be delighted if this actually turns out to be working the way you intend it to be, I highly doubt they will kindly grant your request as in "You asked for it, here we will reverse your ban even though you heavily violated our Terms of Service"

Edit: I never fully read their ToS (I mean who did and still remembers?) but I guess they are protecting their butt against anything like this. Or at least they will in the next ToS update

Tos can't disable laws.

I am an EU citizen have an eu switch and eu account on it. I disabled the information sharing on both my switch and my nintendo account.
Am i safe now
I dont know if i should send the email or nor

No, you are not safe. Nothing can prevent a ban except not going online with a Switch that is used to play pirated games. Except backing up your NAND before doing so and restoring it everytime you want to go online, wiping all your progress since said backup in the process.
There's really only one way to not get banned: don't pirate.

Safe from what? From a ban? Cause if that's so...no, no you are not

 

[chrisrlink]

if this actually works I might as well 1) move to the EU or 2) buy a EU switch instead

And how would 2 exactly help you? You can only profit from EU regulations if you live there... Obviously... But then again, highly doubt this will work anyway

eh US is a shithole mostly just must pick a good EU country to legally immigrate to and no not just because of the GDPR i nearly hate everything in the US land of the free my ass you don't turn your spy agency on all citizens just the terrorist anyways getting a bit off topic here so I'll leave it at that

 

[franciscomaianunes]

Sorry for the offtopic remark but, usually, it is shithole countries that jail and fine citizens for voicing peacefully their opinions, something you wont see in the US. Giving up on something invaluable like that seems plain stupidity for me, you will only start valuing it when you lose and end up needing it.
Also, the whole GDPR law seems it was designed more like a way to hurt small competitors and help large conglomerates than actual care for the consumer data security, which could be the reason why we didn't see any protests from said conglomerates like Google and OVH.

I have something us EU Citizens can try. I believe this data collection is going against the privacy laws in the EU.

The EU couldn't give less of a fuck about your or my privacy, it's all for show, bud. With the birth of the EU, it brought problems that didn't exist before and this dictatorship of theirs is only going to get worse.

And the award for the dumbest post on GBAtemp goes to:

I sent them this and they didn't reply so I sent them the email multiple times then they asked me to chill the fuck down
(it's in french but basically the only response I got was just to not send multiple times the same email)
I also checked if they unbanned me and they didn't, do I have to restart my console ?

Interesting. I tried to throw that into Google translate, and what I got was "We have taken your request into account, no need to send it multiple times, thanks".

I'd respond with this, just to see if it gets the gears turning faster:

As laid down in Article 12(3) GDPR, you have to provide the requested information to me without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. According to Article 15(3) GDPR, you have to answer this request without cost to me.

Has it been a month?

I mean, I know you won't get unbanned, I'm just intrigued you got a response out of them at all.

 

[Burorī]

Wait that thing won't get me unbanned ?

Yes, you have to restart the console.

Of course not. You were the one who willingly accepted Nintendo's Terms of Service when you used their online services then violated them by hacking the console. GDPR doesn't give you a right to their online services, that's unfair towards Nintendo. Servers cost money to maintain. At best, the GDPR ensures your personal information is protected from Nintendo but they can ban you without using any personal info so if you really thought this would unban you, you should have just bought a second console
