If a human right is in the way of your "innovative" technology, the expected solution should be to modify your technology to respect this human right, not to reduce the protections to this human right.
Technology and innovation must be in service of humanity, not the other way around.
The logic is the same as a robber's.
"If I rob this bank, I will have a lot of money. So I robbed the bank and now I have all this money. I cannot believe you, the Courts, are trying to prosecute me for this! The law that forbade me from robbing this bank is wrong, and illegal, and should be voided on the grounds that (1) it prevented me from getting all this money and (2) now seeks to deprive me of all this money"
@purple @Em0nM4stodon The kind of people who get to where they can "invent" and promote an "innovative" technology
generally got to that point by trampling over the rights, dignity, wellbeing, and/or lives of an uncounted number of innocent people (underpaid workers, deceived customers, people living near factories, etc).
That selects for a certain kind of person. The idea that anybody else has any right to anything they want to steal or destroy is probably a thought they're not able to have.
@Em0nM4stodon the "tech" was never the point in the first place. So getting it right is non-starter for these people.
These assholes are ideologically driven. The assault on Wikipedia isn't capturing webpage traffic. All of this is intended to create a digital ghetto that will last for generations. Self-appointed pharos building dark-enlightenment pyramids they intend to be buried in.
@Em0nM4stodon Was disgusted to read about how they're going down this route in Japan, of all places, which has always had a great privacy culture:

@muddle @Em0nM4stodon robbing people of privacy and agency is making some techbros trillionaires but does not enrich society. Theft never made any country great, respect for individual rights did.
Unfortunately when stock markets are amoral and short termist they create immense firepower and incentives to buy off idiot or corrupt politicians. It remains an open challenge how to benefit from all sorts of algorithmic tools without drifting further into a dystopic society.
