Why should the US to other governments jobs? I say this while not being American.
I sometimes get upset when I see that every privacy and safety law is written to protect only US citizens, when it is the US that creates and fuels those predatory companies. And I understand they basically don’t care if they destroy everyone if it benefits them. Great. But what are our governments doing?
- pkphilip 2y agoI am not saying that US should protect the rights of non-citizens but this will likely result in retaliatory action by other nations on apps from the US.. though I won't hold my breath
- shiroiushi 2y ago>I sometimes get upset when I see that every privacy and safety law is written to protect only US citizens, Huh? Where did you get this idea? The GPDR in the EU isn't a US law, it's an EU law to protect EU citizens. The US government really doesn't do much to protect the privacy of US citizens, certainly nothing at the level of the EU's laws.
- figassis 2y agoUS and EU are very alike, I'm from neither.
- m000 2y agoNo they are not. Just today, it made news here in HN that the (US) airlines will have to compensate their customers for cancelations/delays. EU has that for something like 20 years [1].
