I think I'm not understanding your point. GDPR seems to be the current gold standard for privacy at the moment. Are there any similar policies in non-western nations to speak of?

How is what non-western countries do relevant to the question of if western governments actually practice the values they claim to hold?

>>goodSt+Nf
You're making this out to be a western problem, but I suspect it's actually a general human thing. Actually, I have a hunch that the west has made more progress here than anywhere else, and I'm curious if anyone disagrees.

>>itisha+8y
I doubt anyone would disagree with that statement. Would you agree that the actions of western leaders reveal their liberalism is superficial?

>>goodSt+hS
Somewhat, sure. They certainly haven't achieved 100% of the liberal ideal. But if they're currently setting the bar for policy in this regard, can it be entirely superficial?

>>itisha+Ya1
Yes and it is. If they actually believed in libety or democracy they wouldnt drag their feet like this and be content with merely bei g “more liberal” than your standard dictatorship.
