Frankreich vs Apple und Google
„French Hypocrisy: Fines Google For Being Soft On Privacy; Now Angry That Google Won’t Let It Spy On Users – We keep trying to explain to people that privacy is always about trade-offs, and arguing for privacy laws that protect ‚privacy‘ as if it’s a constant thing, will run into trouble. Most of that trouble is in the form of locking in big companies, but sometimes, the trouble is in showing you why understanding trade-offs matters so much. – France has been among the most vocal critics of ‚big internet companies‚ and demanding various regulatory pressures be used to punish them.
