Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm

  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.

    Because they want to strip the right to privacy so they can better monetize

    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.

        Are you asking me why some in Europe want to make it legal? Because they’re already doing it, just they want to make it legal

        Make sense?

  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.
