What? GDPR is for avoiding Cambridge Analytica/Facebook disatasters, Equifax breaches and other cases when companies collect data that they dont need store it

What? GDPR is for avoiding Cambridge Analytica/Facebook disatasters, Equifax breaches and other cases when companies collect data that they dont need store it like there is no tomorrow and at the end dont give a shit when people get screwed over by a 3rd party. Great Britain has the worst laws in the EU when it comes to internet regulations. People are jailed for funny videos while the GHCQ hacks corporations, and they have the most invasive security laws at all. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43478925 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-43478925 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Socialist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Socialist https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/217478-uk-introduces-law-to-ban-civilian-encryption-but-government-policies-recommend-its-use https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/217478-uk-introduces-law...

> People are jailed for funny videos It’s not like most of the mainland European countries are better in this regard. Few of them have strong legal protections for free expression, and some of them (like Germany) have explicit political censorship laws just like the UK.

> GDPR is for avoiding Cambridge Analytica/Facebook disasters And SESTA/FOSTA is for avoiding human trafficking. Complex far reaching laws often don't end up having the result they were said to be intended for.
