It’s funny in a very sad way that something called the Linux foundation is having this extremely corporate boot licking message, considering that a good share of Linux desktop users are that to get away from the corporate spying.

I'm wondering who you are fighting for in here...

Ah, that's why… 🙄

The GDPR makes it harder for citizens to become learning material of shitty parrot programs, aka "AI". That's not a bug.

Pretty unfortunate catchline, I think.

The GDPR is for personal data. If your company is held back from opening up their data by the GDPR, either the data you have is data about me personally, in which case it should never be open, or you do not understand the GDPR.

So maybe "Lack of understanding for privacy regulation is fueling a climate oft risk aversion" would have been a more accurate headline.

Privacy is important for individuals as a liberty against the state and state-like actors. Open data is something that states and state-like actors should provide to be properly, democratically controlled by the people.

Private data of invidivuals can be used with their informed consent, with the emphasis being on informed and consent. This is essential to manage risk and assure accountability.

The GDPR is the minimum safeguard.
