I just read the GP post again and I don't see anywhere he indicated his nationality. I understand this legislation is stressful and it may cause you to need something to lash out on but bashing someone's imagined country of origin isn't going to change anything and misdirected anger will probably only make you feel worse. Furthermore, many of the posters I've seen criticizing the GDPR law have in fact claimed to be citizens of EU countries. Addendum: I find it disheartening that I wrote this to help the parent poster recognize his misplaced anger and to state facts yet some other people also in an apparent act of misplaced anger/sadness/frustration take the time to down vote me. Hacker News you are better than this.
- kodablah 8y agoDisagree on whether it's a good thing, but regardless we citizens work at, own, and buy from corporations too.
