I didn't say GDPR would apply in this situation, and the WSJ story suggests it wouldn't because of when it was discovered. All I said was that GDPR was great (obviously we'd only see the benefits from it after it had gone int

GDPR proving to be great once again. The case for a US equivalent gets stronger. And more importantly, all these fuck ups will ensure that whatever bill gets drafted isn't just what the Facebook/Google lobbyists find acceptable.

In what way does this story make them look bad? They're allegedly the victims of a state sponsored attack. It would only make them look bad if they were co-operating with the Chinese to enable this.

If you watched the Senate hearing on privacy two days ago you'd have seen that they were remarkably on the same page about potential privacy legislation [1]. Facebook's continued fuck ups will only help the cause, and for that I&#

Brian Acton or anyone else feeling guilty about their ad-tech wealth: use your winnings to lobby for a federal privacy bill that is as strong and comprehensive as GDPR (and other EU privacy regulations). The industry is moving to enact some

Trump is an aberration and will likely be out of office in 2020, worst case 2024. No one is going to blow up old alliances because of Trump. Every foreign capital is just trying to ride out the storm.

There's good and bad to America being able to do things unilaterally. The bad is stuff like the Iraq War. But two examples of its good are the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which has global reach and has been used in enforcement actio
