And my point was they’re already doing this in the face of regulation.

See, my first thought would be to crack down on the tech parasites that are ruining out society instead of changing the law to accommodate them. But I’m just a dumb American who lives in a place where corporations are allowed to do whatever they want including killing whistleblowers, but I’m sure that the fascist parties taking power in Europe won’t do that.

Then why change the rules? The article's author seems quite convinced that this will make AI training easier.

Naive to think the GDPR is stopping anyone now.

Naive to think the GDPR is stopping anyone now.
So again, why change the rules? If the GDPR is already ineffective there's no need to loosen it more.

Sounds like the problem is lack of enforcement of the existing laws rather than the existing laws being bad.
To provide an extreme example, just because there’s a wave of murders doesn’t mean murder should be made legal.

Why should any of us approve of making things easier for technofascists?

Did I say you should approve of it? I'm just explaining why it comes as no surprise to me.

Why do you presume that all AI advancement is purely by technofascists?

The kind of “AI advancement” that requires stripping away privacy rights is definitely done by technofascists.
