^ I do not think that a "law" having to tell people how their personal and metadata are being used, is "socialist" lmao.

IMHO it is self evident to have to tell people, it is just that companies like Google and Facebook completely ignore this, and the privacy of their 'clients'. It now seems they get the bill for that anyway.

Other US companies, as well as China and Russia try to get their hands on any data, preferably industrial, scientific and last not least secret political background information.

That the EU finally tries to limit that is the right move, and as far as i konw it is the only organistion worldwide to even try it. If you want to know how it will look like without it in a few years, go for China.

Of course it is unclear if it works at all, if people give away their personal data and information publicly with a US president as their shining example.


And by the way, this new law coming into effect has been announced two. years. ago. With the full wording and text being visibble for everyone.
