[ANSOL-geral] A radical proposal to keep your personal data safe | Richard Stallman

[Diogo Constantino]

Não concordo nada que a regulamentação europeia tente fazer um casamento 
de interesses. Acho que é claramente favorável às pessoas e limitadora 
do que quem quer recolher e processar dados pode fazer, como, quando e 
até se o pode fazer. Esse é um dos pontos em que não concordo com a 
opinião do Stallman.
