I'm guessing the rift was already there 💁🏾♂️
But the GDPR is a gnarly hairball of law that's hard to understand, even for experts. I'm all for having complex, purpose-suited rules for complex industries, but I'm sceptical that they will carry over well to resolving disputes between private individuals.
Certainly, this feels like a scorched-earth approach that would likely create a permanent rift between Gran and Mum.

If the grandmother doesn't remove the photos, she'll be fined €50/day to a max of €1000. If she posts more images in the future, these, too, will incur €50/day fines.
I'm not sure how I feel about this, to be honest. I do think that kids (and therefore, by extension, their guardians) should have autonomy over their personal info, and also that the polite thing to do when asked by your daughter to remove her kids' photos is to comply.

A Dutch court has sided with a woman who sued her mother to force her to remove pictures of her grandchildren from social media, finding that the images violated the GDPR.

The mum said that she had repeatedly asked the grandmother to remove the pictures. The court found that the "purely personal" exception to the GDPR does not apply when large commercial platforms like Facebook and Pintrest are involved.

@SandiaMesa But realistically, do they usually get enough donations to be sustainable? It used to be in the #Soapbox interface but I don't see it anymore, the amount of donations to reach the goal. Gleasonator typically hits them, but I wonder how often this actually occurs among instances that run on donations.
