This is why I hope the GDPR causes companies to internationally throttle themselves enough that we don't need a sibling bill stateside, because I can guarantee that thing will be an absolute mess
- he0001 8y agoI believe that says more of the US than of having rules like GDPR. While the EU can really mess things up, they do work on it. It seems like the US legislation really have an inability to form laws like the GDPR. I think the American people should have a bit more faith in the government and stop being so binary about things, those rules might be evolved into something better. Technically, I believe, it should be a lot harder to get consensus about anything with such a diverse political landsacape like in Europe. However it seems like it’s working to strengthen it (if we disregard the mishap of Great Britain).
