Re: Once again. It is not *their* data to sell.
"Any future trade deal would almost certainly require us to keep following those rules."
Yep but a trade deal with who?
With the EU certainly but what about the US?
"Would it not really be dictated by who we make a trade deal with first? Or which trade deal the government prioritises?"
I don't think the current government would think twice about repealing GDPR protections if it suits their American masters. They've tested the water on repealing the human rights act before so they would consider that ticky tack shit.
That really will be the forseeable outcome of today. If the tories get a majority we will become more aligned with America on trade. I know its a lot more complicated than that but I think its pretty clear the EU will get the cold sholder in favour of America if the current administration has its way.
