Facebook CEO says no plans to extend all of GDPR globally

Is Facebook available in China? Do they comply with Chinese law? I'm not sure I'd want to have Chinese law applied to me here in the US.

Having GDPR applied in USA also is arguable a positive thing, so why not entertain the idea, or at least leave the door open rather then prematurely shut any efforts down? Maybe its best for Mark Zuckerberg to take a break. It might help him to step back and see the big picture, what happened at Facebook is the perfect example of Normalization of Deviance: http://lmcontheline.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-normalization-o...

I don't get how the GDPR and the censorship in China are related here in any way. Is the GDPR bad for your freedom of speech?

For one, both are the law in a particular region of the world.

Some laws are ubiquitous. Others are common or even unique. Each can, and should be, evaluated on their merit.

Can you enuciate where the GDPR excels and fails, or is national origin insinuation enough?

I can see why being forced to apply the law of another country can be bad. I don't see why merely deciding to do so is necessarily bad.

It's been blocked for nearly a decade.

Yeah, except GDPR is demonstrably only good for the consumer.

It cannot be 'demonstrably only good' because there is no way to know all of the services this will prevent from being viable.

I think we have a pretty good idea of the services that no personal privacy creates.

I mean, nitpicking, but it might mean your favorite service can't provide some feature, either due to prioritization or some other reason.

I wish my favorite service prioritizes to make my data deletable.

I honestly can't tell whether you're being ironic or not.

But it seems like a complex law and it's likely we won't know the hidden downsides until well after it's implemented.

Cheap effective advertising is very good for the consumer.

Gonna need a citation on this, and a definition of 'very good'.

Facebook could incorporate the bulk of the EU's GDPR into its privacy policy without violating U.S. law. The same could not be said of Chinese policies.
