No, they should not. But it is your right to damage and destroy your body as you see fit, just don't come crying to me when you're done.
Same goes for adrenaline junkies that need their fix going hanggliding or freeclimbing. Do what you want, it's your life and your body, but when you break your bones, you're on your own.
Given the amount of snake oil peddlers that are currently filling the market, from "Vitamin B17" to MMS, I dare say that at the very least people should experiment with their own bodies and not those of their kids.
We're living in a world that gets more radical by the minute. New parties do emerge in Europe where 5% of the votes is already something you can work with, but all of them are of the radical kind. Moderation is on the way out and we're getting more and more entrenched in our positions, not giving an inch for everyone's afraid to lose a yard in the process. Compromise is seen as weakness, cooperation as betraying your position.
You want to establish a party of moderation and sensibility in this climate? Good luck, you have my vote, and I guess yours, so we'll probably be about as successful as the parties trying to reestablish the monarchy and that loonies that want to build a christian theocracy.
Of course you're allowed to learn from past mistakes. NASA always did, fortunately. But with the SBRs they added a huge mistake to something that was already far from feasible. The shuttle didn't achieve what it was supposed to, not by a longshot. What we wanted was a cheaper replacement for the throwaway capsules of the past, something we could reuse over and over for multiple trips. What we got was an overhyped, WAY over budget and way too expensive kinda-sorta-at-least-partly-reusable space craft... well, reusable... reusable after it spent enough time and money putting it back together that it would have been faster and cheaper to build a new one.
The shuttle was a failed concept, to be honest. But it was a prestige object. Maybe the first "too big to fail" thing we had. Frankly, single-use rockets like the Russian used were the right way. Easier (very Russian technology, easy to build, easy to maintain and when in doubt, bang with a hammer), cheaper and, especially as the shuttles aged, WAY more reliable. The last time a cosmonaut died in a Soyuz was in 1971. Given the recent track record, it's safer in the capsule on top of the rocket than in its vicinity before liftoff...
I got spam calls by the dozen. I picked up, immediately terminated the call when I noticed it's a spam call and they kept coming back. Until I was pissed enough that I felt like playing with the asshole. Be bizarre. Be crazy. Talk about him with some weird conspiracy shit. Eventually you'll get written off as some lunatic batshit crazy idiot and they stop calling.
Ok, let me rephrase this: Parties that can be taken serious. Actually serious enough that they make governments virtually impossible if you try to avoid them.
None of them are a problem to the average store. Most have already finished implementing it, I recently got a flood of emails from stores I used ages ago, telling me that they'd be really sorry to lose me as a customer but they are going to delete my data now if I don't (click here) to tell them I'm still interested in staying with them.
It could get tricky, but in theory it's possible. In the end, unless you're storing private sensitive data about EU citizens in your database, why would you care?
When you don't deliver to the EU, there is no sensible reason for anyone but a shyster to register with your webpage and then try to abuse this. And that's easily thwarted by only accepting addresses in the US, because he'll have a hard time explaining how you're required to protect his private information when he himself made sure all the private information you have about him is false.
Judges in the EU in general aren't dumb enough to let shit like this fly.
You mean you'd be sad if all the spammers went away and the trojan in your computer can't connect to its control server anymore?
That part of the internet can as far as I'm concerned go to hell as well. Just like the data miners that now wail about their lost hunting grounds. Good riddance!
Have you even bothered to take a look at the law? We're not talking about a company asking for your name and mail address so they can deliver a box with shit you buy in it. You take that information, you store it, you don't distribute it, you're golden.
Once you start selling it, you're in deep shit. As you effin' should be!

You didn't get the memo? When MY side does it, it's fake news. When THEY do it, it's treason.
And this is true no matter what side of the fence you sit at.
Could it be a bipartisan action? It would be the first sensible one in a long time.
That's really old knowledge, you know...
And as long as they don't start selling it to someone else I fail to see the problem.

I think it's time to assemble a list of those pages so we know which consider it too much trouble to not sell your privacy to the highest bidder.
So you have two other parties. What you don't have is two additional parties to choose from.

It does. But just like email "From" and "reply to" headers, it can be spoofed and just like in email it is by malicious actors.
The difference is I can do this whenever I have time to waste. It sure beats sitting in boring meetings.
Easy. Waste their time.

And even then it should be announced to the one you do it to.
Safety is an illusion, why do you wear a seatbelt?

With blackjack and hookers?
Very obviously you haven't even looked at it.
