Data about me is my data, and if the government gives me the right to control it, I have that right.
If I share a photo, it’s still my photo, I still own the copyright to it, and as an American I’ve used the DMCA to revoke access to photos when tech companies wouldn’t remove my photo when asked politely. The rest of my data is no different. I own my data and the data about me, not them.
GDPR gives users the controls and governance over their data that should have always existed, but that tech companies gaslighted users into believing doesn’t exist.
