My boss published someones resume online to make fun of it because it was handwritten. He at least blurred out that persons name but not the past jobs & other info...

It took me 30 minutes on linkedin to find the person that I believe it is.

Isn't this a GDPR violation lol

    If you are curious, it went viral (at least for him) and he got a lot of backlash. Reading those comments was also fun.

    Good job, sir. Have you tried looking for your brain? Because it may be stuck deep inside your rectum.

    @retoor The problem probably being that he stored it on some online site to make fun of it ;P

    @retoor GDPR also covers your data-processing intents with which the user agrees

    i doubt "submitting CV to company/HR" contains "being mocked online on social networks" as an agreed usecase. especially if the person can be identified due to insufficient anonymization

    GDPR is bulletproof in this regard. You can’t use any piece of user-identifying data for a reason that wasn’t stated when the user was submitting it. I doubt that online mocking was on the list. And yes, the fact that you were able to find them quickly proves that this info is user-identifying
