Ironic that the EU has GDPR, but then this?
- ekianjo 5y agoIndeed, private companies can't be trusted to install cookies on the sites you visit, that's just too much private information... but regulators/law enforcement? Open bar!
- soco 5y agoGDPR is concerned with other aspects, namely personal data handling. It would be ironic if the assumptions circulating around were true - which they are not. The topic is lifting a ban on the backdoors, not mandating them. Some argue it's a slippery slope but for a reason slippery slope arguments are listed under "logical fallacies". These are arguments unfortunately too often used in political discussions but still fallacies nevertheless.
- raxxorrax 5y agoThat is misinterpreting the fallacy. A slippery slope is just a fallacy in a way that there might be insufficient proof for a certain consequence. I rarely read it applied correctly on the internet, although it became quite popular.
