"we've had to ask you this sort of thing a ton of times. Eventually we ban such accounts"

No you haven't. What's wrong with calling out bad products for what they are?

I find it amazing that anyone uses it in the business world. Next up HR will be adding tarrot cards and oiji boards

Then again I find it amazing that anyone uses it at all. It's complete trash

If they don't do business there they don't have to comply. Making it available doesn't count

Just like I don't have to comply if I have EU users on a service, I am in the united stated. europe cannot enforce their laws here. It's just the same as if saudia arabia tried to enforce their laws here. They carry no wait

That is what makes the GDPR insignificant. It applies to Europe. Not the rest of the world. The cookie warnings for the vast majority of the internet are stupid an unnecessary

So call it illegal in europe but who cares?

It honestly is maddening how many people care about the GDPR that don't need to

They are in california. They can give the finger to the gpdr. It's irrelevant to most people in the world

People tend to forget that it is not applicable. For instance nothing I build will ever comply to it regardless of users that might be in europe

Clubhouse has no duty to obey european law

The question is: why do you think the need to be compliant?

Why isn't there more effort to subvert tracking vs trying to block it. Ruin the data and they can collect as much as they want

I'm guessing if facebook outright killed the app and blame it on apple. Facebook would do far better than apple would

Nothing, we don't replace it because we don't need it

It's a tremendous waste of money

There is no "we". I started using it because I can recklessly trade it. I see no utility in the current expensive implemention

I don't care if it is centralized or not

The media is known to exaggerate things without bothering to understand the issue

I completely get why he put that there
