Making profit by punishing foreign surveillance malware, I love it!
- pembrook 2y agoI’ve never heard of a malware that tells you exactly what it’s doing with your data upfront. But anyways, not sure the EU will love it so much once the US finally puts its foot down and the EU capitulates. Unfortunately it’s hard to say no to the only country that will protect your sovereignty (NATO doesn’t work without the US and I’m sure Russia would like to keep going further into Europe). After that data privacy revenue stream dries up, the only thing left will be the laws and regulations that permanently keep the EU tech industry from ever being competitive with the US or China. But maybe the ballooning population of European social benefits retirees will pay for themselves? Who needs evil private industry to generate tax revenues when you have bulletproof data privacy over what toilet paper you bought last week. Who can afford the insane risk of somebody creating products that might disclose this highly sensitive data?
