The solution of course is to have one country - the US - making and decdiding the rules easy-peasy. Sorry for the snark but thinking about different aspects in the world is “actual work”. You don’t find it interesting and creative - fine. But don’t take the moral high horse that your work is more creative than the ones which require thinking about different systems.

I never said US should dictate, their rules suck too IMO. Web should be free, websites/services shouldn't be wasting time trying to comply with various laws but focus their resources on actual creativity and R&D. In layman's terms, in my service's/app's privacy policy I should be able to say "I can do whatever I want with your data and keep it forever. Not OK with that, well don't use my service then." No one's forcing anyone to use anything anyway.

  You can’t say/do anything you want to - that’s how society works. If you don’t like it, you can free to not conduct business. No one is forcing you to offer an service or app. The society is fine in making that trade off.

    Well, I should be able to create something I want, and society is free to use or not use it. That is what freedom is, blocking people from creating stuff is not.

      No, you shouldn’t. The society can create bounds around what you can create. You are free to not like it that’s the freedom you get from the society.

        Yeah, conservatism is great, sure. Good luck with life.

Ah, okay, so you want to ignore the basic human rights of your users. Data protection legislation is necessary to protect us from you.
