To fix a problem, you need to frame the problem correctly. And at least in the political sphere, money or talent is not even up for discussion. Even after the effects you mention.

It won't be a messed up situation if the politicians said what you just pointed. The employers are taking away jobs of americans, not the immigrants.

It will be a totally different debate altogether.

What's stopping a Github or Gitlab or Atlassian employee from going rogue? That's not an MS specific problem.

Netflix is paying money to its competitor. i.e. Amazon Prime Video.

More than the blame, it will dehumanise those deaths. Like a tree falling in a forest....

You should perhaps read on what led to creation of these terrorist organizations. BBCs 'Hypernormalisation' would be a good start.

But now you also have. "No I do not consent" buttons. If people are tired of it, they should just stick with 'No'.

They made a mistake by releasing all the stings together. They should have released a few first so other players can pounce upon in a hurry to tweet. That would have atleast got the discussion started.

Infact "Economic Times" (part of Times Group, who's CEO was in the sting) did happen to write about it and later deleted it.

I don't think we're going to lose as many "well intentioned" websites as much as we'll get rid of bad intentioned businesses.

It's not stopping any well intended company from fairly using data. A law making it harder for well intentioned gun enthusiasts from getting guns is a good law according to me. All well intentioned gun enthusiasts should support it. Otherwise there'd be a day people would get tired of the bad intentioned gun owners and legislate a complete ban on guns.

Also I like the cookie idea. If only people really cared about misuse of their data they'd like it too. We've seen how good 3rd party cookies have been for some democracies.

If a regulation is going to impact "innovative" startups that sell my data, I am totally for it. I don't want more innovative ways to sell my personal information.

Google can't make it work because they need to sell out there users. A random company does not need to do that. Even google doesn't do that if you're an enterprise user. So you see google does make it work if you pay them. The same way you can pay a random company.

Because not everyone wants to make money by selling out there users. There was advertisement industry before it was even possible to track users.
