Reply to comment by johnnyjfrank in eli5 What came of Edward Snowden leaking all of that classified intel? by tpb772000

> Im definitely glad that Snowden exposed what he did, and we have seen some tiny data regulation reforms, like GDPR, which aren't nearly enough yet, but I honestly think Snowden is a bit of a traitor.

Uh, the GDPR is an EU law, and doesn't apply to the US. So at best Europe had data reforms but the US is still doing the same thing as before.

True but imo the main problem is we haven’t figured out proper legal structures for data rights, and I think GDPR is positive step. Plus it inspired the California law which I also consider a positive, albeit tiny, step forward
