Privacy is an ideal but I don't agree that privacy laws are a looming threat to those who ignore them. Our right to privacy is being swept away at a rapid rate and there will be no repercussions for those who invade our privacy.
It’s a perfect system. People don’t care about their privacy. Companies use all their data for profit and then use that generated money to lobby against privacy laws. They get to get more data, more money, more lobbying.
I don’t think anyone will actually care until it’s too late AND they are personally affected.
I hope that in my lifetime there is a turnaround and people take privacy seriously. I will continue to tote privacy practices and support privacy supporting software until then but god is it exhausting.
