GDPR for everyone, cries Microsoft: We'll extend Europe's privacy rights worldwide

Gah!

Instead, the free market will come up with all sorts of innovative ways to give consumers the power to decide, rather than rely on "heavy-handed government supervision."

This is why I despise libertarianism. It all boils down to "Screw all of you, until enough of you notice and we have to come up with a new way to exploit you, but in the meantime we're not going to let you use the law to stop us and you have to rely on finding a company who will screw you less until the rest of us decide there might be some money in doing the same." Not everything in life can be reduced to a free market, you wilfully blind motherfuckers.

(Rant over. I apologise to any lowlife libertarians whose precious feelings were hurt by this.)
