Its crazy how much further ahead Europe is in Privacy Protection.
All these companies need to be held responsible for what they do with our data, and what it costs them when they lose control of it. Either figure out how to safe guard it or suffer painful consequences. Or perhaps only store what’s necessary for us to interact.
But then again, we also have pretty much every EU group pushing for super invasive chat control. It’s ridiculous how schizophrenic they are on the subject of digital privacy.
Yup, the EU isn’t a role model for the world or anything. They have some good laws, and those should be replicated elsewhere, but don’t assume that just because they got a few things right, that they don’t mess up in other really important ways.
It’s not the same groups and entities pushing these things. It looks contradictory because it all ends up submitted to the same legislative bodies but that’s par for the course in a functional democracy.
Yeah, seems weird, but there’s also points where it’s not related at all.
One is a company using user data they didn’t tell they would use for this purpose, and illegally trying to do it anyway. They literally sell the data by making a product of it. It’s also a private company with stakeholders.
Other is EU scanning messages, but not selling them.

They are telling what they care about, take notice.
I am once they get a local AI grfiter, they will change tune too.

So it’s about who you trust basically.
