My question is genuine. I have no idea why you would say something unpleasant like that.

- whb07 8y agoBecause I believe that humans should be responsible for their own behaviors. Meaning, if you choose to engage in XYZ behavior out of your own free will, why does a third party need to be involved? If you upload all your private life to a website don’t be surprised of the results. If you don’t agree with the site, then don’t participate. Same applies to any activity that a consenting adult can be part of. So why would a small American side project of PG that became popular should have to dedicate more O hours in adding features to comply with some over bearing EU legislation?
- mkempe 8y agoOk, I can see what you mean, and you didn't need to be hostile about it. My personal view is that no country should regulate the Internet -- beyond upholding freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of trade (caveat emptor), and punishing fraud. But I don't get to tell either the EU or the US or China what to do, so we somehow live with what these political entities force on us all. [added] Things the US did that caused trouble everywhere: DMCA; COPA (thankfully destroyed by the courts but websites still ask whether you're 13yo); as well as countless anti-encryption laws and sabotages.
