Had to turn down an extra check (Still a win)

Working with the EU on anything AI/systems is a headache in itself, so many rules to follow without even realizing that your VPS has to be hosted in the EU. Crazy stuff.

Short story time, I had a project with a Medium sized company in Sweden, we were building a Facebook prospecting system.

Now the thing is that they wanted a feature (quick note: I had already built the system with GDPR in mind, using Hetzner and all) that involved scraping individual profiles, which isn't really allowed.

Now the question is, with AI giving you a workaround for almost anything, how far would you go before your morals stepped in. For me it's simple, if it even comes close to crossing the line legally or morally, it's a big no.

Huge shoutout to
