nickhammes comments on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube

Privacy is a spectrum, there are ways to improve or worsen it on basically every website. The implementation of a system like this matters a lot; requiring the sites to collect and store IDs like they've been doing in the UK dramatically worsens user privacy with no upside.

Do you think YouTube/Google don't store all of your data, your IP address and follow you around the internet collecting more information?

I don't dispute that the UK are going about it all wrong, but in the spectrum of privacy that you speak of, I believe using Googles platforms comes with its own issues. It may even make people take notice and be more careful of what platforms they use.

Who they share with and how much they charge for that sharing matters.
