I trust the EU to respect my rights far more than some startup trying to get an exit as fast a possible.
If they get bankrupted by a GDPR fine then their business model needs a review.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> I trust the EU to respect my rights far more than some startup This is an odd statement to continue seeing, given we’ve now seen GDPR weaponised by an EU member to stifle journalists investigating corrupt politicians [1]. We need regulation protecting privacy. The debate is whether GDPR does that effectively (i.e. causes the intended effects) and efficiently (i.e. with minimal undesirable side-effects). Saying “if they get bankrupted by GDPR...then their business model [is bad]” is extreme because it assumes without evidence GDPR’s efficiency.
