Brazilian Baile Funk. I'm starting to like it

You would think so, but apparently not.

The former.

We would have known where Courtney Love’s phone was at the time of his death.

I had this a few years ago in Bond Street station.
Somebody dropped their suitcase into the trough.
Someone else, who'd doubtless missed his meds that day, jumped in to retrieve it.

Well, that's what you get for going through people's phones.

Such a mess.

She should splash out on a new phone.

A good one doesn't come cheap.

IMDB have scraped the 'about our staff' page on the website of the organisation I work for and created entries for us all, using the photo and including the bio from the website. Which I'm not exactly happy about. Looking online it seems like it's pretty much impossible to get this removed as they seem to have some hardcore views on retaining this info. For example - it is our policy not to alter or delete any kind of correct/factual information or credit from our records, no matter how obscure or trivial.
and - If you try to delete an item of data which is accurate, your delete will not be processed. Please be aware that attempts to delete accurate data will count against your overall accuracy rating and may result in all your submissions taking longer to process along with additional proof requirements.
There must be somewhere that I can make a request for my image to be removed as I've not consented in any way to it being on there. Outside of GDPR though I assume so imagine there's just nothing that can be done?

could there be an argument that they're using your photo for commercial purposes and they don't have the relevant license to do so? They sell advertising space, so more content = more traffic and they are presumably doing these scrapes as a sort of longtail strategy to acquire clicks

Who owns the copyright to the image? One potential route to go with.

If they have infringed on your company's intellectual property (e.g. who ows the copyright on the photos and copy text?) then a strongly worded letter considering legal action could help?

Yeah, I mentioned similar thoughts to our comms team to see if the person who took the photos can pull it up on some kind of licence infringement so I think they're going to look at contacting them to get onto it as well.

Unless IMDB have nothing to do with the EU (unlikely) I would think this would totally come under the GDPR right to be forgotten, as an individual. Not sure how you'd go about invoking it though if they're not making it easy.

Owned by Amazon I think.

I assume that’s the speaker ‘coming to life’?

I've gotta wonder if Chinese companies would be at all interested in having their Chinglish proofread by a native English speaker, or whether they're actually happy to lean into the cheap and nasty obscurantism as a means of signalling the total lack of accountability and customer support...

I’ve wondered about this too, and believe they’re happy with the current situation.

It were a different time
