Well I'd consider myself to not be ignorant in the matter.... I do study 'War Studies' after all and have studied global and regional security measures to a fair degree of detail.

So I'll choose not to take this personally.

For Eurosceptics!

Crap idea, if they can't get your data then expect more pay walls, less services or both. Only winner from this is the Asian tech industry which now has a major competitive advantage.

Oh and I know everyone likes an 'EU good' story but as is so often the case it looks like GDPR is actually based off of international standards made in Geneva, not Brussels (ISO 27001 to be exact). Congrats to EU bureaucrats for lifting the work of others and passing it off as their own.

I doubt Euro-skeptics are going to consider some beefed up privacy laws to be an outcome worth the transnational governance.

I'd rather pay more to have my privacy intact tbh.
Even though there is no evidence suggesting this will happen.

Doesn't really do anything for British skeptics since the Snoopers' Charter already gives the majority of public sector agencies access to an individual's data/internet history.

True. Also 'Porn Passes' are going to be a massive risk too when introduced.

Can't wait for senior politicians to get caught buying them lol

Ofc, but why should I care about massive restrictions on private companies using my data when the government can access it *extremely* easily and will undoubtedly abuse it?

Because it's better than nothing? But yeah the UK is in a sad state when it comes to privacy.

I support Russia in some things,  but I don't generally support it.
