Its crazy how much further ahead Europe is in Privacy Protection.

All these companies need to be held responsible for what they do with our data, and what it costs them when they lose control of it. Either figure out how to safe guard it or suffer painful consequences. Or perhaps only store what's necessary for us to interact.

But then again, we also have pretty much every EU group pushing for super invasive chat control. It's ridiculous how schizophrenic they are on the subject of digital privacy.

Yeah, seems weird, but there's also points where it's not related at all.

One is a company using user data they didn't tell they would use for this purpose, and illegally trying to do it anyway. They literally sell the data by making a product of it. It's also a private company with stakeholders.

Other is EU scanning messages, but not selling them.

So it's about who you trust basically.
