So the point is that actually adopting data privacy laws is politically difficult but shouting about tiktok is cheap. But why can we not make the data privacy issues less contentious politically?
I feel like it should be possible to have a cop-out, like "Online services doing business in the USA must offer US-based users data and privacy rights which are at least as strict as those of any other national jurisdiction in which the service does business." The tag line for press appearances would be "Americans using online services should have just as much control over their data as Europeans." The line for industry lobbyists is that by effectively adopting GDPR, multinationals don't actually have a meaningfully increased compliance cost.
- sleepybrett 4y agoYes but maybe shouting about tiktok allows the next conversation to happen. 'TikTok was very bad, but we should be asking ourselves if even american companies should have this much insight into our citizens'.
