      I’m pretty sure as much as possible if our data is being collected, too.

      The fact that it’s not as fucked up as in the states is little protection, just look at how chat control got shoved up our bums.

      Laughing at America is a splendid cynical feel-good distraction, but let’s not kid ourselves and fight for every bit of privacy they are going to try their hardest to wrest away.

        I feel like America holds the world back largely by it being so simple for other places to say, “At least we’re not like them.”

        Most obvious in any discussion of racism in Latin America.

        GDPR already allows us to delete data with just a request, which is what the comment you’re refering to references.
