tldr; but is this an American complaining that a US-based company is collecting lots of data and does not want to tell him which exactly, so he starts pulling out the GDPR because the mother company is EU-based? That contains quite some irony.
- Semaphor 4y agoNah, it’s more that DT has a statement "Binding Corporate Rules Privacy" which could apply to T-Mobile US as it has language about subsidiaries. And this is a user who specifically tries to choose EU companies for privacy reasons. So no irony either.
- jraph 4y agoAs a European person, I would support US people seeking to have something like the GDPR. I'd be very happy if the US adopted something like this.
- martin_a 4y agoI would _totally_ support that, too, yes. But that actual law in the US is just so far away from that, don't see how that would be possible.
- pessimizer 4y agoI don't recognize any irony. It's just a observation that T-Mobile doesn't believe in German law. It's at least useful information for Germans, in case they're ever tempted to get rid of the laws and let T-Mobile "self-regulate."
- martin_a 4y agoIt does believe in German law, but the author is neither German nor an European citizen, but a customer of a US company. GDPR does not apply to him.
