- jnwatson 4y agoGoogle signed an agreement with the EU that said we wouldn’t. Bad things would happen if they did. As a Googler that has access to some Fitbit stuff, I have to sign a form every 30 days that indicates I understand this.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoThat EU agreement is only for 10 years, starting from 2019. So it’s got 7 years before expiring?
- gaius_baltar 4y agoBut will Google respect this agreement? If the expected fines are lower the the value extracted from the data or if they can drag the eventual lawsuits for a long time, I'm pretty sure they will just exploit that information anyway.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoA whole lot of the world uses google but isn't under EU law (I'm in the USA and EU laws don't mean anything here) so how would that protect the rest of us?
