nor is it a bad thing that besides that they actually have some rights in the matter.
To repeat the earlier argument: It is a bad thing, because it gives a false sense of privacy, reduces privacy hygiene, and anchors worse technology hindering improvememt.
Technical solutions are only there if there is binding Incentive
I’m not talking about the remote side. The technical solution has to be on the client side. Remote side should always be assumed to be a malicious actor.
and compliance with EU law is absolutely a binding Incentive for “rest of the world”, if they operate inside the EU, which most megacorps do.
Sounds like you don’t know that non-megacorps can also have a web server reachable from inside the EU? With ipv6 every device is individually addressable, and a potential web server.
Additionally it’s also not really binding for megacorps as we can see now. As the EU is completely reliant on the US, for energy, technology, defense, … the US administration can just pressure EU council to change whatever law it wants. In case of a client side technical solution, that’s not an issue.
You sound like you’ve never actually worked for a tech company lol, compliance is everything.
I have. That’s just yet another one of your faulty reasonings.
In summary, and to repeat: these laws are extremely short-sighted, fail in achieving their stated goals, bring forth an unnecessary cost of compliance for well willing actors, and actually make digital privacy worse by the false sense of protection it brings and because it mandates worse technology.
