It could be seen that way, although I disagree with that viewpoint. For the same reason I don’t think it’s privileged perspective to ban organ sales because someone would need to sell a kidney to eat.

I’m going to keep ensuring that this possibly-only-good-for-the-privileged world is realized and I think modern privacy regulation like the GDPR helps, which is why I’m supportive of it.

We're going to have to agree to disagree about that. Have you ever actually faced that choice? I haven't. Until I have, I don't think I'm in a position to make that decision on someone else's behalf.

Here's another thing to consider: we allow people to put their lives at risk in exchange for money and social prestige by joining the military. The only substantive difference I see between that and selling an organ is that the latter doesn't provide any tangible benefits to the elites who make the rules whereas the former does.
