Reply to comment by MichaelFusion44 in Meta wants EU users to apply for permission to opt out of data collection - Instead of a yes/no consent, Meta users will fill out a form and include justification. by speckz

As far as I know EU legislation states that data collection for Europeans by default is opt-in. When are the American companies going to get this?

As long as legal divisions treat the interests of the consumer in data privacy as adversarial to the interests of the firm, US companies will not get this. It’s a conscious choice to prioritize a few extra immediate dollars over the intangibles of company reputation, long-term stability and differentiation, and overall compliance.
