GDPR is the "digital TSA", a huge overbearing law that gives people the illusion of security without actually delivering on such a promise. In classic EU/world government fashion, it's a neat-sounding concept but is totally impractical to enforce. People think "oh I can just click this button to delete my data" but your data is likely not being deleted, it's just anonymized. Technically, someone can still trace all of that data back to you if they felt like it.
- tephra 4y agoWhile enforcement isn't perfect (or close to perfect) the law is still enforceable and is being enforced as we speak.

- jacksnipe 4y agoAbsolutely untrue, the adoption of GDPR has forced massive changes on the part of big tech.
- kaffeeringe 4y agoThe alternative is the US model where anybody can do anything with your data and there is nothing you can do about it. Government has to make a law about every case of misuse. To me that doesn't sound better.
