Yeah fair point.

I suppose for non Americans like myself, we would naturally put far less weight on the secondary discussion. Also I hadn't watched the documentary in question, so wasn't referring to its arguments directly.

I do have some vague hopes that California's upcoming privacy regulations (the ones that from the outside look a little GDPR like) will prod the tech giants enough to take this shit seriously.

And I hope you're right about what this has stirred up in the US. I'm hoping that my view (ie the apparent nonchalance) from the outside is inaccurate. For the rest of the world, we rely on American sentiment to influence these companies.
