I think in the opposit we should urge US companies to fight against GDPR. Local foreign laws shouldn’t dictate how our companies should behave. Why not respecting speech laws in China or in Russia if we follow this precedent?
Does that mean that a Chinese/Russian company should be free to disregard US laws as well?
Is anyone talking about the harmful effects on startup companies that may want to create new social platforms to compete against the incumbent players? All the talk about regulating facebook, twitter, etc are actually great for those companies because they can afford compliance. But it raises the bar of entry so high that new companies wouldn't be able to compete since with limited resources they wouldn't be able to…

Maybe it’s my American DNA but I don’t want European laws. I don’t suspect this to be a popular sentiment here.
How is the country/continent of origin of a regulation that is entirely in your best interest of any relevance?
Laws carry their culture. GDPR is, from an American perspective, an overworked mess designed to support a big bureaucracy. This side of the Atlantic, we'd do something slimmer, more reliant on privately-funded cases (and regulatory complaints) versus public ombudsmen, and better attuned to start-ups’ needs.

I am starting to look at privacy like it should be treated as a public safety concern, since it’s invisible to people until it’s not.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's as absurd as Google/Facebook/et al. adopting US cultural norms as global standard of banning ads, YouTube content, social media content and everything else for the whole world. Meaning: not absurd at all.
While I don't agree with some of Google/Facebook/et al. standards, I think that's not a fair comparison, since they are US based companies following US cultural norms, not EU based companies following US cultural norms.
