scratching my head - that sounds to me like a positive thing. If a industry has gotten big by doing something bad (misusing private data or using slaves as workers) and a law comes along and forbids that practice than I can't see how this is something negative for the sociaty overall.
- downandout 8y agoYou're comparing a retargeting pixel to slavery? That is the kind of mentality that brought us GDPR.

- downandout 8y agoYou used the slavery reference for a reason - because you consider those two things to be in the same ballpark. There are millions of other references you could have chosen. So yes, my use of the term “compare” was accurate.
- jeena 8y agoNo I didn't, I used it because I was looking for another bad thing for my analogy and slavery was the first bad thing which came into my mind this time. There are always millions of other and better references one could take for an analogy. But let's look at one of the examples on the wikidiff: > "hardware is to software as a television set is to the shows that appear on it" Would you say that in this analogy the author compares "hardware" to "a television" and "software" to "shows that appear on a television"?
- downandout 8y agoI know what an analogy is. I also know that you chose the slavery reference specifically because you wanted to equate - or compare, if you like - the two things.
- jeena 8y agoI just told you that I didn't chose it to compare but to insert into my analogy, you still keep comming back with telling me that you know what I wanted to do. I'm not sure how to respond to that.
- TheForumTroll 8y agoNo, reading-comprehension like yours is. People read the law like you read his comment. The fines are the biggest new thing. The laws are mostly from the late 90's.
