Comment on Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’

The GDPR is definitely neither wits end, nor applied reasonably under all circumstances. I have my doubts that these “cutbacks” will be the adequate reforms however.

These cutbacks are completely stupid imho. The EU is undoing decades of good work by jumping on this dumb deregulation band wagon. I guess it was always run by a bunch of neoliberals…

As someone with a lot of time spent in Europe and the US over the last 30-40 years, it seems like Europe is often happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first. I also think American music and cultural exports are spreading our cultural degeneracy around the world for a long time and Germans slurp it up. I really hope the better education system will immunize them against the worst of it, but the rise of the AfD makes me doubt.

lol.
With the current trend I feel like the neonazis AfD will put us right back to Temu-Hitler (Trump) and Putin.
