What privacy? Knowing that user dhsidhujdjdowhdyyehheis is using my website is not an infringement on your privacy!

Why do you think you can control what I do with data you send to me? Don't send me data I'd you don't want me to have it.

Are you really interested in rehashing this conversation? You got plenty of answers last time¹, I doubt you'll get new ones

Obviously no one said anything convining. Sure, it's law under the gdpr and I'll comply. That doesn't mean I think it's a reasonable law.

I'm just saying there's no point starting over, you'll just get the same kind of responses. You should preempt them if you're hoping to get anything new. Though I doubt you'll get it anyway.

Why do you think I can’t photograph your face?

Don’t reflect light in my direction if you don’t want me having pictures of you!

Legal protections, like the GDPR.

I agree with this perspective. I haven't seen anyone present a compelling case as to why a person should own all data about themselves.

You would if you could see what the military does with data about people.
