One more thing I would like to add: I generally think that some form of regulation limiting the abuse of personal data was long overdue and I must respect your zeal and vigor. I simply note the cost as I think it is important that we realize that this law (nor any law) is not without undesirable side-effect that should still be considered.
- BlueTemplar 4y agoNow consider how Office 365, Windows, Intel CPUs and Ryzen+ CPUs... have similar issues in the sense that they have more or less likely backdoors for US intelligence agencies. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10458318 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10458318 So, what is a reasonable way to deal with this if you're running a government agency or a company that has something worth spying on / getting remote control of for the USA ?

The "undesirable side-effects" are being sold as undesirable first and foremost by US companies (and US government!) who assume that everything and everyone belongs to them. Does it suck to be stuck between a rock (GDPR) and a hard place (the US' continuing desire to not care about user privacy)? Yes. What amazes me though is that the only side that gets blamed is GDPR.
