It seems like the biggest issue with GDPR is that it’s comes from Europe and not the US? Historically speaking, Europe has in many issues come to agreement on technically solutions and industrial standards many years ahead of the US. For example, Europe was first on texting on the mobile network while the US (single country) took years to come to a standard. I think it will be the same with regards to GDPR. You (US) will discuss this for years and come up with a different law.

That's not the biggest issue that I have with the GDPR. In fact, I'm totally OK with someone doing a better job than the US at regulating privacy. However, I have some complaints about the GDPR, and there isn't very much discussion about the details; most people appear to think about it as "all or nothing" or "Europe good, USA bad" or "everything looks clear to me so what's the problem?" instead of discussing the details. You can see all of these opinions in this very discussion.

  > I have some complaints about the GDPR, and there isn't very much discussion about the details There has been an enormous amount of discussion. It's been law for years and it's the amalgamation of various European countries individual DPR. What exactly is your snowflake complaint that you think hasn't been discussed yet?

  You're creating or contributing to the problem you say exists, parent above was not refusing discussion and literally asked you what alternative you have in mind, so he was open to them. But after going several answers deep you still haven't listed any specific complaints and instead complain that nobody discuss them. This really make no sense. So, feel free to explain what specific things you dislike, why, and how else you would have done it, and then people would be able to discuss them with you and exchange opinion. Saying "it's not possible to talk about x" when you don't even try to really isn't the way.
