All the time. Most countries in the world don't have data privacy laws, and in fact have the opposite as law of the land. EFF and other non-profits are just very western outlets. Not a critique as much as a reality I wish they'd d

That actively reaffirms sexist beliefs and worldviews. Has no place in a public forum where it can and does get interpreted as such.

I don't agree with the EU's commission use of microtargeting, but there's an argument to be made about using a system to destroy itself.
