What I fear most is the symbiose of big tech gigants like Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. and goverments.
This is not lobbying it is plain corruption.
How is it possible that a small company in the EU is supposed to have a data privacy delegate, to assure that privacy laws are respected to a point where keeping a customer email can become critical, while Google is recording all transcribed phone conversations?
And the problem is exactly this: once you are flagged, even if you can prove that you did not othing wrong and the flagging resulted from poor AI or an error of the service provider, you have nobody to talk to. They don't care: you are one person amongst BILLION of users!
And yes, we may have the erroneous flagging of people, we may have the correct flagging of people, but we also may have the flagging on PURPOSE! This is done to eliminate any unwanted competition: in elections, as a competing startup, as an annoying voice.
What if Google or Apple flaggs Louis on purpose, as if it was a mistake? Lucky for him, he will at least be better off than the average guy, because he has a wider audience.
I really would wish that the suckers at the EU goverment would stop imposing the standard length of saussages and financing stupid goals as EU funded projects. Instead they should make an effort to limit the influence of US based tech gigants in the EU and sponsor the development of propper competition. It is sad to see how the EU has fallen behind on IT - at all levels.
