EU privacy laws are nothing but theatre. How many times have they put up a law which would undermine end-to-end encryption or the recent law which "bans" anonymous crypto coins? It's quite clear they are very good at virtue signaling
Not sure why are you down voted here. I'm in EU and everything I can say about GDPR is that it does not work (simple example, government itself publishes my data including National ID number on their portal with property data; anybody can check who my parents are or if I'm on mortgage). And there are more.
People on HN are fucking delusional. They have no connection to real world scenarios and most of them don't care about actual privacy. They only care about laws which make it sound like everything's fine
