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.

@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.
