I'd be fascinated to see whether a similar degree of monitoring is going on in a post-GDPR context. A data request should return everything as Bose is an EU based firm with some customers within the EU surely?
- fyfy18 7y agoThe GDPR haters need to realise this is exactly the sort of thing it is meant to prevent. The EU legal landscape is very different from the US, in that regulations protect consumers vs the threat of class action lawsuits. What would happen here if Bose were a solely EU company with no US presense, who would you sue then?
- jacquesm 7y agoThe GDPR haters on the tech side usually work for companies (or are founders of) that do stuff that they really shouldn't be doing.
- akersten 7y agoThe "GDPR haters" realize that this is the sort of thing it is meant to prevent. They probably want to see this kind of thing prevented too. But they also realize that intention is hard to codify in law, and when their concerns about an overly non-specific and broad legislation are dismissed with "well obviously the GDPR intends this and not that, it's such a straightforward legislation to read, anyone can understand it," it's easy to become a "hater" - because they realize that there is a lot of latitude in interpreting the law. It would be more constructive to try to understand the position of people you disagree with, instead of labeling them as "haters" - just because someone is critical of the GDPR doesn't mean they don't value privacy.
