The harder the better. Corporations should think thrice before collecting even one bit of information on anyone. They should be scrambling to forget everything they know about us the second we're done dealing with them. Storing data about people should actively cost them money. Keep adding difficulty and liability until they stop this surveillance capitalism nonsense.



Just so I understand your viewpoint, you're saying that the harder it is to understand/comply with the law, the better?

If your goal is to prevent data collection, why wouldn't it be better to just draft a law that says "It's illegal to collect data" with super clear rules and enforcement criteria?
