    I hate Wired. They’ve always been so fascinated with their tiny penis and nothing else.

    We know things actually change in the real world like this: Slowly. Making positive progress is good. Do we need strong legal protections for private data? Of course, but Wired isn’t doing shit about that. Why not shit on Biden while he’s trending, maybe they’ll grab another thousand clicks they can pop up and demand you subscribe with.

    This will just increase the amount of cyber attacks on companies collecting data.

    Old man yells at Cloud.

    Edit: Aw, I thought that was clever, since it’s literally the Cloud, and the meme applies because it’s basically a person so out of touch with how data is stored and sold that he thinks he can command toothpaste back into the tube via executive decree.

    And he’s an old man. It works on so many levels!

      It is a good play on words.

      But the phrase denotes a man doing something totally useless that can have no effect, so it’s pointless to try. The analogy falls apart.

        Which is accurate. This is pure symbol politics pandering while the American companies who are a much worse hreat by virtue of larger user base protect your data from foreign governments just as lousily as they already are with effectively no new restrictions.

        It’s cold war era politics from a cold war era politician.

          But Biden made it so only the companies that operate close enough to us to actually abuse the data can get it! Thats so much better than countries and companies who have no means to influence my life outside of Facebook ads having it duhhh. Because PATRIOTISM!
