I am aware of USA and EU have a thing together. I am also very keen of my privacy and have read GDPR for Sweden, both for my own sake and for how I should handle others data that uses my websites.

What have I missed? Please give me links to the sources. I want to learn more.

You were given links to sources, but you decided to ignore them. Why should I waste my time doing the same?

The links I got from him was (in my eyes) not source for EU being worst than China privacy-wise. It was about China having stronger privacy laws these days (maybe stronger than mainly GDPR) and old news that EU are trying to fix.

It is illegal in EU to gather as much personal data as what China does. That's all I'm saying.

The first article that you re-linked in your original post is about how Meta is ignoring GDPR. If the EU does not enforce GDPR, then it's useless for protecting your privacy. Contrary to popular belief, Facebook and Instagram are not banned in China. They do not operate there because they are unwilling to abide by China's stricter privacy laws.

I have now read most of the article (I know reddit is violating your privacy, I gave you the link so the bot will give you options to go around with). EU is working on better privacy for us within EU.

Contrary to popular belief, Facebook and Instagram are not banned in China.

I hope EU will ban both Fecesbook and Instagram in the near future. I HATE Big Tech because they see you as the product + behaving so weird! It (the ban) has been on the table before, but got paused because (what I think is one of the reasons) of lack of alternatives (which is false, there's plenty of alternatives, HumHub as one of them).

If the EU does not enforce GDPR, then it’s useless for protecting your privacy.

They are working on it.

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

I found an article on reddit regarding privacy in EU. Will read it when I come back home again and then reply to your message.
