The law: exists, and is quite unequivocal.
Sites: implement things that are actually illegal under the law
HN, en masse: the law is bad, how can you say it's good?
EU has been very slow in going after websites, but I do hope they pick up the pace.

- dmitriid 5y ago> EU has far overreached How exactly did it overreach? Every country in Europe had data protection laws prior to GDPR. All these shitty sites ignored them. So EU created a single law. If you want to sell people's data without their consent, go <expletive deleted>. The US will eventually have similar laws as well (CCPA is one if them)
