I don't think all regulations are bad, but in my opinion the EU hasn't been adding great regulations, GDPR IMHO wasn't great, I think it does harm innovation and even worse doesn't add much value.
If you delete your FB account and they remove you from the public but still use your data privately, for the average Joe, does it really matter? Also does Joe care?
I think Joe doesn't care, and the negatives will outweigh the positives.
Tech (FAANG) probably should have some regulation, but I am really concerned with the tech people (HN) being so acceptive of regulations that are obviously bad.
I'd say defending terrible regulation is not better either.
- stochastic_monk 8y agoI agree. And this is certainly absolutely terrible. I am a big fan of the GDPR. While imperfect, it’s a hell of a lot better than the protections I enjoy.
- pedro_hab 8y agoThanks, this is what I think we must do, disagree where is acceptable (GDPR), I don't like it, you do, but we should be together screaming this other one is horrible.
