American Prospect on why the GDPR is a good thing, not the horror that business outlets like the Wall Street Journal are noting.

They also blow up some of the corporate propaganda such as “it will destroy opportunities for start ups.”

GDPR **IS** a good thing. You own what you do online. You can request your presence be completely removed, all history, everything. You determine who and what is fine with your private information.

We wouldn’t have had Cambridge Analytica of we had GDPR.

I want to own my browsing history. I want to own my own data. I want to tell Facebook to fuck off and delete me always and forever. But I can’t because I’m not in Europe.
