Getting into your car doesn't get you to work in the morning. Why do it? Because it's a part of a larger process.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoIf history's shown us anything it's that the solution to ineffectual regulation is more ineffectual regulation, right? Eventually all of the things that don't work will somehow add up to something that does? The place that your weak analogy falls over is that I can show you empirical evidence that if I want to drive to work in the morning, that I have to get into my car first. You do not have any sort of evidence that the GDPR will eventually work for some unstated reason. As a side note, why has the weak analogy become such a popular logical fallacy? Do you honestly see similarities between regulating data access and driving to work?
