Wonderful. Maybe that's the guy I got a damaged 1984 from (written in 1948 and really, like Animal Farm, about then. Brave New world, well I have that too, alongside Future Shock, the 2 part 1999 by Wilfred Greatorex, Program for a Puppet and Shockwave Rider. Sad that Big Tech thinks these are blueprints, not warnings)
Actually a lot of companies were pointlessly collecting data because they had been sold the mantra it (Big Data) was a good idea.
Was just talking this pm to someone in GM and he says that obviously there will be no change at Facebook, Google etc, but GM and other people they know are stepping back from collecting data because of GDPR and the new Californian law. They can't be sure that they can do it securely. The risk of it going wrong and big fines is now too high and it doesn't make them any money anyway.
This is good.
