RealDebrid happily sharing customer's information that's still retained on their servers 😅

This behavior is very concerning, especially since it's not a one-off, their other replies on that account aren't much better.

  • Holy shit, this company is based in France and they're publicly doxxing their users in the replies.

    I don't even know what to say, under GDPR they're extra fucked now.

    • Because they've been so keen on being law-abiding do-gooders this whole time, right.

      • I mean they should be aware that criminal charges stack up right? They're not going to get anything good from making their own situation worse by doxxing customers (multiple comments on their profile giving out the email addresses of their customers). That isn't going to help them and is just going to make it so much worse for them.

    • They're not fucked, GDPR is all nice and dandy until it comes to States oppressing people, France has been steadily building DNA files of undesirables and foreigners and they can. ARCOM (formerly HADOPI) harvests insane amounts of personal data but it's all been made legal because it's against piracy and piracy is evil so it's fine. Enforcement of GDPR violations in France is a bad joke, CNIL won't do shit. They actively conspire with advertisers to make it easier for them to data mine legally, they only fine an infinitesimal fraction of violations, and they're extremely slow and useless.

      Their official excuse is a lack of budget but when the number* of fines you levy is a few dozens even when you get hundreds of complaints about extremely basic stuff like not complying with deletion requests and websites calling Google and other US companies without needing to, the excuse wears pretty thin pretty quickly, there's ample and very clear precedent, they just don't care.

    • Hopefully they will get what they deserve, at the very least get their Trustpilot banned and lose any and all appearance of being a good and not shady business it gives them. Because they are a shady and not legitimate business, they don't act like one, and their service doesn't have any practical usage that isn't related to piracy. Seriously the legal usage of Debrid services is so niche that if that were all you could do with them we probably wouldn't have them at all.

  • I find it hilarious, that anyone in their right mind (commenters in this thread included), is expecting professional accountability from a sites employees whose only function is to enable illegal piracy, and attempt to thwart any public admission which would get in the way of raking in revenue. I mean cmon people, read the room, lol. You pay for your ticket, and you take the ride, and that's it.

    • It astounds me that people are expecting professionalism from somebody whose entire business is built around facilitating a crime. What are their other reviews like? "The staff at the underground dogfighting arena were so rude and have no customer service skills. 2/5, would not visit again."

  • I know I’m late to the parrrty here, but for dumm-dumms like me, anybody care to explain what the cause behind this was?

    From what I can tell Real Debrid was based out of France… but what made them change their tune all of a sudden? Did the owners get threatened similar to what people think happened to the guy running rarbg?

    Or did France just suddenly start enforcing copyrights or something? If so, then does that mean any other things non-debrid related that are based out of France are likely to run into issues too? Like, I know some open-source stuff also uses (or at least used?) France as a soemthing of a copyright-haven so that they could basically host patented media codecs etc in a separate repo (I think Fedora nd OpenSuse both have unofficial repos that do that). Wondering if that kinda thing would also be affected too or just the *debrid stuff?
