The great majority of people do not care about "privacy" and gladly give it away for something as frivolous as Facebook or TikTok.
So it wasn't a democratic process that gave birth to GDPR. Now tech is pretty underrepresented in EU, but old money is not.
- eternityforest 4y agoThe great majority of people in general, myself included, seem to not care about privacy all that much, although they say they do, and at least I personally care about right to encrypt and truthful advertising. The tech community is different though. And public perception of GDPR is heavily influenced by tech bloggers, hardly anyone else thinks or talks about this stuff. Could be all about old money, but programmers sure seem to love it.
