I'm not exactly sure I trust EU either tbf. They haven't really shown themselves to be good stewards of understanding how internet works with their previous resolutions.


I can say the same about the US though, and at least the EU gives hundreds of millions of people far more rights in relation to their data than anything available in the US; a few US states like California give a limited form of this, but by far not most.

So, while you’re right that the EU and the US both have flaws in this area, this move is still an improvement.


> with their previous resolutions.

That's so vague it can apply to anything in any country... Wanna add specific examples?


two:

Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC

Digital Services Act


The type of trust is very different though: the EU didn't get a bit if data about you out of its regulation.


Least worse option probably.


idk about 'least worse.' Better than US, probably, but EU and US aren't the only two places in the world.


e.g?


>Directive (EU) 2019/790 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market and amending Directives 96/9/EC and 2001/29/EC

>Digital Services Act


None of the governments did; but GDPR is step in right direction compared to... whatever the fuck US is doing.


>whatever the fuck US is doing.

-20 is better than -30 but still far below 0. That's why I said "EU either."
