Are you certain it’s protectionism and not simply believing human beings have a right to privacy?



[flagged]


How are you capable of saying that privacy rights are well protected with a straight face. There are breaches every week in US companies and no on goes to jail, and no company fixes their shit because there's no reason for them to.

The only way I could see someone believeing that it's well protected is due to making money off of violating that privacy

> this law is about limiting and controlling what american companies can do on their platforms

The law also applies to European companies.
