The thing is the ceo wasnt jailed due to "hwealth problems"

Well according to microsoft mildly drunk coders work better

As a german i am rather sure there are enough nutjobs that would like to marry in a historic concentration camp in ss uniforms

Well kind of. If it is possible to connect something easily to your person, than that is private information too. For example your license plate or vin would be personal info too. Your advertiser id is seen as private info too.

Some information that is not directly linked to you is also private information. This includes stuff like healthcare or banking information

Mostly by ring tabs, you can still see them with corned beef tins

That's out of date anyway. How about this one.

Good to know

A crawler is a data processing machine, nothing more. therefor you are disrupting dataprocessing through data. If you think its not thats ok too. I would still advise to contact your lawyer in germany if you are thinking about hosting a zipbomb

For research purposes you could make it password protected, which would make it legal, though. Like i said having one is a gray area, because the law is made extremly vague. Like i said i dont know of any judgements about it, but it is still a possibility. If you life in germany and are inclined for an archive bomb and care about your legal safety contact a lawyer beforehand

Good question i dont know tbh. Would be an interesting question for a lawyer influencer

I mean i am not a lawyer.

In germany we have § 303 b StGB. In short it says if you hinder someone elses dataprocessing through physical means or malicous data you can go to jail for up to 3 years . If it is a major process for someone you can get up to 5 and in major cases up to 10 years.

So if you have a zipbomb on your system and a crawler reads and unpacks it you did two crimes. 1. You hindered that crawlers dataprocessing 2. Some isp nodes look into it and can crash too. If the isp is pissed of enough you can go to jail for 5 years. This applies even if you didnt crash them due to them having protection against it, because trying it is also against the law.

Having a zipbomb is part of a gray area. Because trying to disrupt dataprocessing is illegal, having a zipbomb can be considered trying, however i am not aware of any judgement in this regard

Edit: btw if you password protect your zipbomb, everything is fine

At least in germany having one of these on your system is illegal
