Won't someone think of the poor tech companies?
The GDPR is a massive package of privacy protections. Tech companies cried about it for a reason and not because it was 'poor little us', it was because it shut off their revenue stream of monetizing "free" customer data.
The entire reason for the cookies opt-out we have now is because of the EU. Wow, how terrible, making websites tell you what bullshit they're secretly installing on your computer without your knowledge and consent. How awful! Someone fetch my fainting couch!
California has the CCPA/CPRA which gives legal enforcement for customers wanting tech companies to fuck off and not monetize their data.
Article 17 of the GDPR forces tech companies to delete all your personal data upon request.
Literally fuck right off to hell with your shitty defense of 'big tech'. How many of those poor wittle trillionaire companies have gone out of business because of "fines to subsidize their failing welfare state"?
Oh right, literally fucking zero have. They have more money than ever before. So fuck them. These companies are shit and offer nothing of value but fake make-work nonsense to prop up fake economies with business that produce nothing. If Europe wants to liquidate them into nothingness, why should I care? A shitty evil government vs. shitty evil corporations and you think I'm gonna root for winners there?
It's not a defense of "big tech." It's a defense of small tech.
Facebook and Twitter can afford massive compliance departments. Any potential new competitors can't. It's regulatory capture, plain and simple. And you go lick the boots of the government/tech partnership because they've convinced you that their monopoly is making you safer.
Did your precious crony regulations stop a single one of the things you just complained about?
Said as he defends the people importing infinite illegal Muslims and the guys demanding the infinite H1B imports.
Let's review your points:
Fictional non-existent "small tech" companies might, in your imagination, run afoul of the law, stopping them from becoming "big tech" and that's a bad thing for some reason.
Literally any and every single law imaginable is completely invalid on the entire sole basis of any compliance with law being "licking boots".
Therefore we can put 1+1 together and come up with you genuinely, unironically, literally arguing that a tech company should be free to do anything they want, including stealing your credit card information and selling it, because "any enforcement against things like that would be funding importing infinite illegal Muslims".
That's about right.
You will notice I didn't end 'that's about right' with a question mark, because it's not a question, that's the definite conclusion and nothing you write, ever, will change that. If you have a problem with that, you should maybe think before writing such incredibly stupid fucking shit such as:
lmao what else is there to say. I genuinely cannot imagine why nobody on the planet takes retards like you seriously at all. Libertarians are so fucking stupid it's unreal.
Guess what, OSHA regulations don't fucking change just because you're a disgusting retarded obese worthless stupid semi-literate redneck who doesn't have his own inspectors and compliance office. You're still subject to the same standards and expectations. If you can't manage that, then lose your business and die homeless, idiot.
Tech companies built their revenue streams on being thieving little secretive shits. It's a business model built on amoral, repulsive practices. Any "small tech" that is attempting to partake deserves to be destroyed just as much as "big tech" doing the same thing does.
"Waaah but how will my business survive if I can't launder your data to hackers without your knowledge and consent?!?!" - Data brokering should be 100% illegal with decade-long prison sentences for engaging in it, including buying the data.
All your little faggy 'small tech' companies are artificially propped up by imaginary Venture Capitalist predatory investments anyway. Literally why should I care? That's how fake and gay the entire industry is.
Yes. Because "wear hardhats on site" is totally the same as having to cater to a fiefdom that constantly introduces regulation because someone might be able to tell that Klaus prefers to compose an email starting with the toolbar button instead of the file menu and thinks the penalty should be a two-digit percentage of global revenue.
Give it a rest. We're never going to see eye-to-eye. Mostly because yours point in opposite directions.
You're the one who wanted to moan about the government. OSHA is the government. You sound like a bootlick, wearing steel toed boots.
Because it's retarded. It exists so an army of bureaucrats in Brussels can get a pat on the back every time a cookie sneaks through without a pop-up window because it means a couple more million Euros to spend on Mohammed.
It accomplishes fuck all and inconveniences everyone. I really hope the EU goes the way of China and throws up the Berlin Firewall because the rest of the world is tired of them fucking with the Internet. They can reign over their little walled-off network of subjects.
Design your websites without being insidious evil little fucks installing secret bullshit without my consent, then. Come up with a business model that doesn't revolve around being a filthy little perverted data pirate tracking every movement of my mouse so you can sell it to Indian scammers. Is fingerprinting my browser and computer information so you can manipulate the prices I pay for an airline ticket when I come back actually necessary? No, that's fucking twisted and evil.
A story just broke where Instacart mines demographic information to specifically charge White people more money.
If you can't accomplish those things, fucking die in prison, I literally do not care. The entire who's-who of tech presidents, CEOs, directors, etc. is literally a list of people whose complete liquidation would be doing the world a favor.
Literally who the fuck are you defending here? The guys that are demanding infinite H1B imports?
Your ignorance is showing. It's just about impossible to run a site without all that tracking, Google requires it for all of its services, which are necessary to actually make money with a website. It isn't the start up or hobbyist website that wants to add this tracking shit, all this tracking is built into all of the tools necessary to run a website or it won't be seen in search engines, from AdSense to GA4. GDPR compliance only resulted in more hoops to jump for the regular guy who didn't want to track dick to begin with, but is forced into it because every tool requires tracking users. Meanwhile every big company has the money to burn implementing endless annoyances that literally haven't changed shit about what's actually tracked (hence all the lawsuits), beyond being used as an avenue to shake entities like Google down for chump change, which was always the point. GDPR is regulatory capture plain and simple, it locks out everyone but the big players, and you're a moron for cheering it on.
The biggest clue all this shit is fake and gay is that California has a similar law. When you're defending the insanity of California, you done know you fucked up. Congrats dipshit.
