I don't think you understand GDPR as it is about protecting privacy. It is however true that a nice side-effect of GDPR is giving legislators the opportunity to rip into businesses that don't comply with it. 10/10, can't wait until the DMA and DSA gets kicked into gear too.
Are you saying that you liked how Facebook and Google could cross-site track every single (logged-in or not) European and use that for targeted ads as well as share it with the NSA?
Thank GDPR (and Apple) for stopping that around ~2018.

- dotandgtfo 3y agoSkimming through your previous posts I think we differ too fundamentally to have a reasonable discussion about this. I'll state that I'm happy that your libertarian/anarcho-capitalistic views on regulations, taxes and government is an extreme position here and not the status quo.
- personomas 3y agoIt's definitely not the status quo. But you know, the world is in a shitty position (war, climate crisis, ecological disasters, etc), so maybe the status quo is to be blamed after all and look - that we do need change.
