Zuckerberg- is that you?
Seriously, WTF!?!
Not one part of that comment is true.
The cat’s not out of the bag. Nothing “permanent” has happened. A law could be passed tomorrow requiring that all of our personal data be erased. You might not like it and it would put you out of business.
And that part where you say “best safeguards are to create strong institutions...”. That sounds strangely like “the 4 dog defense” article that’s currently on HN. You just skipped the other arguments
1. We don’t have your data
2. If we had your data it’s it would have taken work to collect it.
3. If it took work to collect it it’s ours since you should have protected it.
4. If you didn’t protect it, the only answer is to form strong instituitions to protect the information formerly about you, but which now belongs to us.
- zzzeek 9y ago> A law could be passed tomorrow requiring that all of our personal data be erased. Such a law would be politically viable in only the most enlightened of governments and societies. Which goes back to the parent's point of "strong institutions, informed citizens, stable economies, and all the usual boring social reform stuff".
