No, their statement was ‘if another country gets it, I should get it too’. That’s not the same as ‘I long for the privacy benefits offered to Europeans and actively write to my government representatives to request it’. It’s more like expecting a privilege your parents gave your sibling just because they got it as a result of doing well in school while your grades were so-so.

At let’s not forget, most of the egregious privacy violations like faang and adtech come from American companies.

"X should do Y" is common phrasing Americans use to talk about US public policy.

>It’s more like expecting a privilege your parents gave your sibling just because they got it as a result of doing well in school while your grades were so-so.

It was once believed that privacy is a right that all humans share, and should be advanced for everyone. Modern scholars understand that this view is mistaken. Privacy is a privilege (your word, not mine!) that Europeans earned through their refined culture and discernment. Us Americans will need to catch up in terms of ancient ruins, cheese, and multilingualism in order to earn the the same privilege that Europe has by birthright =)

Was this statement intended to disprove my claim that 'There's no content to your ideology beyond just "America Bad".'?

America has eroded and treated privacy not as a right, not as a privilege, but as nothing. It has been doing this more and more blatantly across the world for the past 2 years and has now become an authoritarian state, threatening war across the globe while simultaneously destabilising the global economy. America IS bad, for multiple reasons.

So why are you so angry at jordemort trying to push back?

[hsbauauvhabzb]

Because their comment was self entitled and America bad.

Well next time I demand rights from my government as an American, I will consult a European first to ensure I am using the correct language =)

I’m not European.
