I entirely agree with the premise that citizens don't know their rights well enough. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be available to them.
Most people don't know how to read nutrition labels either; they're still there and it's a good thing they're there. Do you think they should be removed simply because people don't know how to read them?
I can make the same argument as to why I believe open source is important. Most people don't know how to read source code.
- duxup 8y agoI'm not saying remove them, but I wouldn't argue they're useful if people did not read them.... I've seen nutrition labels reworked repeatedly. Privacy laws aren't going to be helpful if most people don't know. Even if I opt out on say my phone... it doesn't matter if they get much of the same data form my friend's phone, about me... I think there's a lot of GDPR banner waving and it's really not helping. People think any criticism of GDPR is a suggestion that it shouldn't exist. You can belive in the ideas, and think GDPR has failed too.
- scrollaway 8y agoAs I said in other parts of the thread, I agree GDPR still needs work and improvements. > People think any criticism of GDPR is a suggestion that it shouldn't exist Untrue; what I do repeatedly see though is people who think that just because GDPR has flaws, the whole thing needs to be ripped to shreds and we were better off without it.
