A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Wouldn't the EU be more likely to do that?
True, but if GDPR has taught us anything… smaller firms will bend over backwards to comply and the largest ones will make cutouts, bend the rules and treat fines like fees to play. I think having the law in the US would be the best way to protect US citizens. In addition, I think it would be able to have more teeth being the country where a lot of these companies were founded and most importantly where they bank.
