Google said it had successfully ‘slowed down’ European privacy rules
General question to EU people: do you enjoy trading data privacy for consolidation of goods/services into larger and larger corporations? After all, they are the only ones can afford such expensive relationships.<p>Edit: This question isn’t about compliance. That’s easy. It’s about the downstream impact of “missing” data in the advertising ecosystem.<p>Some posters have pointed out that the EU still has a viable local press and a history of supporting smaller businesses. All true and something that sets it apart from the US.<p>Also, my original question is a admittedly cheeky, but I am interested in how smaller companies actually compete if their options for targeted marketing are limited.
