- hindsightbias 8y agoRegulatory Capture goes both ways.
- Const-me 8y agoSame error from Montenegro, which is not in the EU.
- umvi 8y agoWell, seems to me like a case of having your cake and eating it too. Which would you rather have: greater choice or greater privacy? EU chose the latter at the expense of the former.
- baxtr 8y agoYou’re right. But: No one asked me to make a trade-off decision. Now I can’t chose anymore. Also: what has really changed with GDPR?
- gr__or 8y agoNumber 3, please. A world in which there's other ways to give back then selling out your privacy, thereby having great choice and privacy simultaneously. I know, I'm naive.
- DarkWiiPlayer 8y agoHey, it's the website that decided to block you. GDPR just tells them to play nice, they decided they'd rather not play at all.
- baxtr 8y agoOf course, but my logic is like this: - Is GDPR crating a new hurdle for websites around the globe? YES - Will every website follow GDPR? NO - Is GDPR creating privacy value for the user? I am not sure Thus, it’s a classical trade-off decision. So far I’m not seeing the benefits. The downside is very clearly demonstrated in the above example.
