- mehrdadn 6y agoI like the comic and it's definitely hilarious, and but it's not necessarily an apt comparison. Imagine the same situation with a bank holding your money. Are you paying them? (I assume you're not... I guess if you are, you probably shouldn't be.) Does that mean they're not in the business of storing your money and should be able to just give it away if you don't claim it in a month?
- corobo 6y agoReading into this beyond what you were intending I'd love for private data to be as regulated as money
- mehrdadn 6y agoInteresting idea... are you sure? Do you want to pay extra fees to transfer it internationally, have to deal with sanctions/etc. depending on where you're sending it, pay taxes on it when you acquire it, have a copy sent to the government if it's over 10KB of data, etc.?
- corobo 6y agoYes.. that sounds honestly perfect. Make them respect the data. Send a copy though.. do you have to give the government 10 grand when you send 10 grand? Course not. But you would tell the government it exists if it goes anywhere
- Chris2048 6y agoI'd love private data to be regulated as private data, with privacy/liability laws and such.
