  You think privacy has no value?

  You really think Google doesn’t spend a single penny on compliance anywhere? I can understand hating Google and hating our current mode of capitalism, but it’s a little hard to understand making such an obviously false claim. Do you believe what you said? Or is it just edgelordism?

From the EU I say bye bye then. Nothing of value is lost, at least for me. Tired of being the product, and tired of not knowing where my data goes and to who.

  Then it looks like everyone is happy on both sides, right? This is good news. Big win for those who care about privacy over all else.

    Privacy is like insurance. A little downside for everyday so you don't lose everything if luck turns on you.

      Lack of economic growth compounds over the centuries toward remarkable differences between prosperous and miserable countries.

        Are you also making the claim that the EU lags behind the US in growth? Otherwise that seems like a non-sequitur. If you are, it seems that US's advantage [2] is just sheer number of people since the growth/capita is the same [1].

        If that's the case, in Europe we've been compounding growth for many centuries before the US even existed, we must be far ahead of you.

        Yes, I wouldn't want to live in the US either.
