just had some onboarding training about the GDPR and I really don't get US "privacy activists" disdainful view of it. It puts the individual before corporations. Sad if it's atttempted to be gutted

Fucking sucks. Why bother gutting a law that's barely even enforced? Just bootlicking American tech giants for the sheer love of the game at this point.

Reforming the GDPR is in principle a good idea because many of the terms used in it are so vague that it's completely unclear what it does or doesn't mean.

Somehow I suspect that improving this isn't what's going to happen...

Why is it not in the main headlines across the internet?

Danes are indeed fascists. First Chat Control, then this.

Remember that the commission is a trade pact, meant to increase profit. They would revoke citizens' rights in a heartbeat if they could.

I hate that I have no way to fight this, as someone living in the UK. I get that it won't directly impact UK GDPR law, but it sets a bad precedent.

It's not like contacting one's elected representatives really does much, but it at least feels like something one can do. Fuck Brexit man. The UK has really nerfed it's influence on the world stage

In addition, the special protection of sensitive data like health data, political views or sexual orientation would be significantly reduced. Also, remote access to personal data on PCs or smart phones without consent of the user would be enabled.

The authoritarians can’t get Chat Control passed so they’re trying this instead?

not like i didn't think this was coming, but still incredibly dissappointed
