There was a time when nobody knew what privacy meant, but some people didn't use the supermarket customer cards because they didn't suspect it. Our mailboxes were filled with junk mail, and big companies could do what they want.
The only difference now is that some non-tech journalists think they know what privacy means (but they don't understand the extent of it), and that many companies spent an awful lot of money. Oh yeah and you can't keep record of anything any more, even if you're a simple small sports club.
The revision of the law will not fix all that. Please just get rid of it.
To add insult to injury, my physical mailbox keeps getting spam, so does my phone, and there's nothing I can do. The local politicians have written themselves into the law as an exception so they know everything about me even though I don't want that.
Oh well, if I wanted to be happy and have lots of money, then I should have become a lawyer instead of a software engineer. There's that little thing called ethos though.
