> On privacy, Zuckerberg has become an exponent of Europe’s behemoth rulebook, known as the General Data Protection Regulation. That approach is badly flawed in its own right: It undermines innovation, burdens companies, annoys users, and offers few benefits.
Outside of the authors' views on Zuck.co, this is a myopic view of GDPR. In reality, GDPR empowers, rather than annoys users, and the regulations actually gives EU citizens some degree of control over their data - which is of increasingly huge benefit, especially their interactions with Orwellian companies like Facebook.
- arendtio 8y agoWell, I am sure there are some aspects which annoy users (e.g. having to search for the opt-out button on every page you visit), but AFAIK those are actually bad implementations. Sure, some things could have been done better, but ultimately the GDPR is a huge step in the right direction. It is good this article is posted as 'opinion' as it is quite opinionated (doesn't reflect my opinion though).
