    The hyperbole from your comment reeks. What you’re saying is absurd.

    GDPR and Australia’s Privacy Act are enforced. Companies are restricted from data collection by those laws.

    This law requires companies to increase data collection, and potentially requires them to release that data to the government.

    You seemingly have no perspective on the direction of these things.

      Yes…that is…the whole point…

        You’re missing the nuance. GDPR laws prevent collection.

        This law requires collection, but only within a certain scope. However it’s nearly impossible to tell whether that data was collected for the permitted scope, or if it’s also being used in ways it shouldn’t.

        GDPR requires less data collection, this law requires more.
