Those same citizens that voluntarily agreed to the EULA? Do you also support the 'War On Drugs' on the same premise?
- icebraining 9y agoIf the GDPR was a War on Drugs, it would be one in which neither the users or the small time dealers/employees have anything to fear, only the gang leaders/shareholders. I'd support that War on Drugs.
- jimnotgym 9y agoYou can't opt out of the law in a EULA (under UK and AFAIK European law) Much of what is in GDPR was already illegal under the 1995 regulation, just hard to enforce on US companies
- stordoff 9y agoSeems like somewhat of a false equivalence to me. People (largely) know the risks of drugs, and are knowingly taking the drugs. Data is often gathered unknowingly, or used for unknown purposes, and people don't know the risks/potential uses of that data. It also doesn't remove the ability to agree to the use of data (it just must be actual consent to the purposes of use), so it's more akin to a War on Drugs that targets the supply of impure substances, but allows the supply where the user knows exactly what they are getting.
