If the customers are unwilling, how is this regulatory capture vs customer protection?
1 comments

Customers are the entities subject to the regulations and therefore making the demands.

Notably, a lot of it results from a new shift in perspective aka they are developing internal security policies consistent with those regulations.

None of this is entirely irrational - when the Internet was born, I was actually shocked at the ultra liberalism of it.

I remember thinking Google's objective to 'organize the world's information' to be a big gliby arrogant - because what kind of person would believe that data in other nations was their right to manage?

In hindsight I'm thankful that it was 'open' because my purview was a bit too narrow, that said, I'm having a 25 year 'I Told You So' moment and I do think we need to find an equilibrium.
