> Oddly this argument feels familiar - like we've sparred in the past over GDPR on another hacker news article.
It's possible. Because every GDPR discussion is this: emotionally charged "gdpr is the devil" sold to gullible devs by advertisement industry vs. attempt to disprove at least the obvious lies.
> please imagine who I am who feels so passionately about this.
The less we imagine and the more we deal with facts, the better we, and the world we build, will be.
So let's reiterate facts vs imagination in my original reply:
- "GDPR is ugly."
It's an emotionally charged subjective statement. However, GDPR is no uglyt. As far as laws surrounding complex topics go, it's absolutely definitely emphatically not ugly.
- "The only thing it allows you to do before you get confirmation to process PII is to show static page requesting for permissions. That's basically it. You can't do any "cloudy" stuff prior."
This is 100% unadulterated lie.
The problem though, people keep
mixing emotionally charged statements with lies and half-truths, and you get "GDPR is the devil" in the majority of HN comments.
