    What is wrong with the GDPR and the ePrivacy directive? The only problem I see is that they don’t go far enough (online tracking, for example)

      I can think of plenty that is arguably wrong with at least the GDPR: the definition of “processing of personal data” is so broad that it can arguably cover way more than intended, and the extraterritorial effect sets a precedent that governments can regulate the Internet beyond their borders. But that is off-topic here and I’m not exactly in a mood to write essays about it…

        Yes, the GDPR covers almost everything you do with personal data. That is the point. As long as you’re being respectful to data subjects the GDPR is surprisingly mild.

        You’re the one claiming the government is regulating tech too much, below an article about Apple making that same claim. And when pressed about specifics, you brand the entire thing as off-topic.

        It is very much on topic, you just don’t want to provide an argument.
