That's sort of reminiscent of the British alt-right's idea that the German car industry would be running to Merkel demanding her to pressure the EU into giving them a sweetheart deal. As it turns out (or, more accurately: as people with a clue foretold from the beginning), this overestimated the willing ness of car executives to prioritise shareholder value at the expense of all else, the car industry's lobbying power, and Merkel's power in the EU. Here, I'd similarly predict that Facebook is going to end up with most of the blame. People aren't entirely clueless, GDPR has quite a bit of support, and Facebook is only slightly above soggy bread in popularity. But, in any case, a few thousand gamers, many of them under 18, in one country, wouldn't be able to get a law change. The EU also doesn't usually make small adjustments by passing new legislation as many other parliaments do. Instead, they do one huge thing like GDPR every decade or so (per sector). |
