Why not "punish" them by criticizing them, or boycotting them? Even "review bombing" sucks, but abusing the GDPR, that really sucks.
I'm very much in support of the protests, I think what Blizzard did was shameful, and I loved seeing the hundreds of memes on their subreddits. I'm not completely against civil disobedience and some tasteful vandalism. But still, that doesn't mean anything goes at the drop of a hat, there's a thin line between solidarity with a cause or a group by a massive number of people, and a mass stampede to smash and destroy all enemies of said cause or group, which can easily lead the whole thing into a ditch, not to mention rob it of all moral standing.
- Xelbair 7y agoI am not punishing them with GDPR requests. I am really curious what they do have on me, especially now that they start to expand greatly into chinesee market. I don't even play their games any more as they all turned into bland pulp.
- PavlovsCat 7y agoI was referring to the article, not you :) I think it's totally fair to be reminded that hey, actually, what do they have on me and not hold off until the "punishment" is over, but then what I said obviously doesn't apply to you per se.
- paperskull 7y agoHow is this an abuse of GDPR? I own my data and have the right to withdraw my consent for a company to store and process that data for whatever reason I want. If people no longer feel like they want Blizzard to have their data they have the right to withdraw that consent. What part of this is "abusing" GDPR? The law is working exactly as intended.
