    By that same logic don’t hold Europe up as a good example of privacy either despite the gdpr.

    Like are you actually that stupid? Californias age verification thing is annoying yes, but cali is still one of the prime example of digital privacy and consumer protections in the world.

    No where’s perfect for fuck sake. You can’t just ignore all the good cause one thing that hasn’t even happened yet could possibly be bad.

      I honestly am not sure where I’d stand on the EU as a good example of privacy. Unfortunately I don’t think the GDPR has been effective in retrospect. They’re at times hostile towards corporate spying, which is good. But, they’re extremely bullish on state spying and policing social media. They’re willing to outsource this to corporations sometimes too. It’s pretty good, or some countries are, if you want to stay private from US corporate interests but when it comes to themselves the EU seems to think your right to privacy online is an obstacle for them.
