I’m in the EU and PII definitely IS “a thing” here, because most IT professionals need to communicate in english at least some of the time and the US is the biggest market for software in the western hemisphere.
because of that most software companies from the US (like, say, Microsoft, Apple, and Google) use the term, which is why it is widespread over here as well.
and since translation errors are suuuper common in technical documentation from said companies, or there straight up isn’t any in non-english, most professionals read a lot of US-english documentation. which obviously uses PII instead of PD.
the specifics differ, yes, and the areas use slightly different terms (PII vs personal data), and yet those terms are, in fact, synonymous.
(and also: it is common courtesy on the internet to use the terms more people are familiar with if the terms are, for all practical purposes, interchangeable.)
do you need an explanation for what a synonym is too?
jfc, i don’t mean to be rude here, but how is it possible that this needs explaining??
just about ALL of this is common freaking sense???
I’m in the EU and PII definitely IS “a thing” here,
Then let me be more clear: It is not a thing in EU law.
With due respect, the level of intellectual functioning, in this case reading comprehension, you display is incompatible with being an IT professional in any country. If you are not trolling, then you should consult a physician.
Da ist nichts, was man einem Erwachsenen, der einen IT-Job hat, erklären müsste. Die Behauptung, dass personenbezogene Daten nach DSGVO und PII im US-Recht dasselbe sein, ist so fundamental unsinnig, dass ich sie nur als Witz verstehen kann. Klar, normalerweise würde ich das erklären, aber wenn einer so rumtextet von wegen Profi, dann muss das ein Witz sein.
In case there’s really anyone lurking here. Maybe you could explain to them what you think happens when one agrees to be tracked for ads. That ought to be funny. Do they send a drone swarm with 4K-cameras to your location? What’s a TC-string? Something that goes up your butt?

Ok. So you are trolling. Haha. The vote manipulation isn’t cool, though.
