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
From what I've seen, people dislike it because it's the reason we have, for example, those stupid cookie popups everywhere, or that some services simply refuse to operate in the EU so they don't have to comply, as if that were the GDPR's fault and not a symptom of corporations trying to get around the regulations.
The cookie popups are basically malicious compliance.
But many yanks (even geeks) have an instinctive dislike of anything that smacks of government regulation. They're conditioned to see corporations as good, or rather, that competition between corporations will always lead to good outcomes, and that anything that disrupts that competition as bad.
