Far too many companies: "Data protection laws are a failure because they're making our business harder! We need deregulation!!"
Dear companies,
data protection laws are meant to protect people's human rights, not to facilitate your business!
Their sucess isn't measured in how much you like them, but in how well they're protecting people from you. And honestly, judging by how careless some of you treat other people's personal data, this protection is necessary!

I'm sure many of you have had some variation of the "I don't care about my privacy because I have nothing to hide!" conversation with other people.
I'm curious, how do you respond to that? Let's collect some talking points and inspire each other!
My typical response is a variation of "Privacy isn't just about hiding something. It's about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they do with that knowledge."

What about cookie consent banners?
Under UK law, you need to consent to companies tracking you. But the data regulator has been too lenient in how this is done.
That means we get hit with confusing or manipulative cookie banners.
So most people end up being tracked whether they want to be or not.
