    Why not just leave it up to the users? Maybe put a warning?

    Why does the government have to ban everything and treat us like children?

      Because most people reason like children and act like children.

      Had one dude buy a bunch of those none refillable vapes. Ran around with 3 of them and talked about that the government should ban them because people like himself throw them in the woods when done. That is a real person.

    Hoping this sets a precedent for the same kind of regulation about non-Chinese corporations. Otherwise it just comes across as sinophobic grandstanding and not actually about protecting the privacy of the end-user.

    Sure, as long as you also remove ChatGPT.

    “Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies,” she added.

    And that’s different to American companies how? None of this climate of data harvesting is currently good for us.

      It’s simple: America Good, China Bad.

      There isn’t much more depth to it than this. BTW even Lemmy is sadly suffering from the same brainrot.

        Yes. But “America bad, China good” is also brainrot.

      At least formally, with US companies there are agreements that the data on european citizen need to stay in EU, with China no

        Which gives superficial comfort as it gives scant protection from how aggregate data is used to upend democracy.

        I prefer China’s honesty to the US’s dishonesty.

    Do chatgpt, claude, gemini, llama, etc keep user data in the EU?
