I would be fine with a bit more sincerity, something like:
"we don't care about privacy, so go somewhere else". Or if you want to translate it you can put a message like "the EU market is too small for us to even consider implementing non tracking ads, we are sorry we can't sell your data anymore!"
- throwErrorAway 6y agoI think that's a little unfair to assume that the reason they don't want to bend over backwards for the GDPR is because they're selling your info. Maybe they are, maybe they simply decided the overhead cost of having lawyers validate everything their teams do isn't worth it. I don't know and I can't say I really care, because that's not what this is about. In my (admittedly limited) experience on HN, it seems like a lot of the time the response towards "how does the GDPR affect the rest of the world" from users in the EU is "if you don't want to follow it, you can stay out of this market- no one's forcing you to do business in Europe." And that's fine. But OP's response to that exact explanation from the company was "fuck you too." You can't have it both ways. It's perfectly okay to dictate the laws of your own marketplace- I absolutely believe this and frankly I'm grateful for the GDPR. However, it's pretty childish to tell someone to find a different market if they don't like the rules of yours and then get angry when they do exactly that. I'm not usually an angry person but good grief, grow up OP.
