Very, very glad to see this starting to become addressed in law.

Also a little surprised Europe didn't do it first. We're usually way behind on these things in the US.

How long until Facebook and Google figure out a system that accomplishes the same thing, but doesn't technically break the law?

They don't even need this to actually read your mind. You giving thrm your thoughts for free over ypur engagement with social media is enough for them to get into your head
