I mean, California bans this as well and they aren’t exempt despite being where Reddit is located. Spez doesn’t seem to care what is legal.

A testament to how important good legislation is… most—if not all—privacy issues that we face today are in large part due to legislative failures.

Legislation and enforcement. There are countless laws on the books that are not enforced. Generally speaking, they may as well not exist.

I love GDPR so much, EU does not fuck around with that. I can’t remember when I last felt that my rights were being considered and protected by governmental entities., but that one sure warms my heart.

Yeah I gotta say, I make sure to vote in every election to the European parliament, and I have always voted for the representatives with the strongest privacy oriented agendas, and over the decades I have been blown away by some of the great legislation we have seen with regards to regulating the capitalist hydra trying to devour our freedom of speech and interaction online.
Holding gargantuan companies like Google, Microsoft, FaceBook et al, dishing out serious fines, GDPR… EU may not do everything right, but these things alone makes me happy to be in it.

Regardless. Fuck what Reddit has become. I really hope that people will see the light and move to Lemmy.
