      How did GDPR benefit “us all”?

        GDPR requires that you can export and delete your all personal data out from online services. Previously that was very rarely supported. Once GDPR came into effect everybody complied very quickly.

          Hate to break it to you, but most companies only comply if you’re in a GDPR country. Otherwise nothing has changed. That’s why it is far from benefiting “us all”.

            Not really, as it forces them to have the processes working, which is half of the battle

            I mean you can export and delete your Facebook or Google data outside of Europe, so GDPR is a win

              Great. So again, not benefiting “us all”.

                When you request for data or your account to be deleted, on which services are you first inquired for your citizenship?

        Privacy. Not important for you?

        Meta had to rewrite their whole app, Threads, when it launched for the European market, because it couldn’t track everything you did, as it does in the US.

        So it works really well.

          Ya, European market. Hardly “us all”.
