A person finds that a private videotape showing her in a very intimate situation has been published on a website. She never consented to publication and demands that the video is being removed without undue delay.

According to the GDPR, what should be done next?

ANothing. The video may be regarded as 'news' and, therefore, the website is only exercising its right to freedom of expression and information.

BThe controller erases the video from the website and, when possible, informs any controller who might
process the same video, that it must be erased.

CThe controller erases the video from the website. There is no obligation however, to inform others who might have copied it, that it should be erased.

DThe controller directs the person to seek a lawyer and informs that he cannot exclude before a juridical authorization.

Suggested Answer: C

Controller: Correct. The controller determines the purpose and means of the processing. (Literature: A, Chapter 1; GDPR Article 4(7))

Processor: Incorrect. The controller determines the purpose of the processing, the processor works on the controller's instructions.

Supervisory authority: Incorrect. The supervisory authority monitors and enforces compliance with the GDPR requirements.

Third party: Incorrect. A third party has no role in determining the purpose of the processing. Any party that determines the purpose would become a new controller.

Option A? Are you kidding me? Letting a non-consensual intimate video stay up because it's 'news'? Someone's been watching too much 'Black Mirror'.

Option D? Really? Sending the person to a lawyer and waiting for a court order? Talk about bureaucracy gone wild. Just take the video down, it's the right thing to do!

I'm going with option C. Why should the controller have to track down and inform every other controller? That seems like a lot of work, and they already erased the video, so that's good enough.
