It is sad that in a place with so many developers this would happen. Especially sad to see that attitude prevail even with some developers' comments in there about "now we can't have fora anymore without a large team". I'm sure that's just one of the costs associated with this, and yet it seems to me it's a clear loss. And what do we gain ? > Also, GDPR is not restricted to ' EU users'. I'm sure you can understand why having laws with (even pretend) global reach is a huge, huge problem given the people who make laws. Let's leave the discussion of which countries are or aren't problematic there, but let me just state that the problem is you're unlikely to agree with large dictatorships or religiously run countries' laws. That's why laws shouldn't have global reach. The big problem police has with the internet in general is that it allows for things to be synchronized, and they can't easily block it. That it allows anything from going out with a lot of people, to protests, vandals ... and, yes, terrorists and I'm sure other criminals too to be as organized as the police is. They can't deal with that is the simple explanation. But to totally sacrifice free speech for this is entirely out of proportion. This is not a good way to strike a balance and that's why this law needs to be stopped. Also, the police ... out of the 30+ police services that interpol represents, I assure you, there will be a lot that are outright stupid, yet more that just don't care about the effect of what they do, and one or two that are outright malicious. These people can't be trusted with this power. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge their problem. It definitely exists. But there are better balances to be struck than this. But yes, I see how this is being used against them: https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/swedish-prime-minister-livid-after-youths-torch-more-than-100-cars-20180815-p4zxiz.html https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe/swedish-prime-minister-l... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings#Attacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Brussels_bombings#Attacks
