Just curious.
Well, of course the EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA.
My country, Türkiye, has the KVKK. (The Turkish Data Protection Law/Authority)
Does your country have something similar to this?

South Africa has the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act
so, what the heck does KVKK do? It protects who from who?
Yeah it’s kind of useless. The apps you listed are available, but for example Newgrounds is banned.
IDK about the second thing about the encrypted apps, but I would expect them to do it. But some people have been jailed for criticizing Erdogan.
and IDK what place Turkey is, but yeah it has a very high number.
Erdogan pls don’t put me in jail
the bird turkey was imported to English speaking countries from Turkey, hence the name. To Turkey, it was imported from India (Hindistan) and that’s why the same bird is called “hindi” in Turkish.
Portugese sold oranges, you call that fruit “portakal”. Karpuz est le dieu des fruits in ancient greek. All these names have their histories. There are thousands of names like this.
Claiming that the country is insulted because of sharing its name with a bird, Erdogan’s propaganda team distracted most people from real issues.
don’t participate in the pathetic and hyped inferiority complex shit-show. Turkey is Turkey.
India recently introduced Digital Personal Data Protection Act. But, unlike what it sounds, it does more harm than good to the privacy of citizens.

Switzerland has a new Federal Act on Data Protection coming up in September.
I have dual citizenship so I put in gdpr requests but my resident country likes to talk about individual rights but then pass laws preferencing legal entities over individuals.
Here in Sweden we had Datalagen (1973-1998) PUL (1998-2018) And now we just use GDPR.
Nope. And I’m not a corporation, nor do I have the money to buy much in the way of data privacy.
Brazil does, but while such a set laws exist, seeing those laws being enforced is a distant dream.
DSGVO checking in
For those unfamiliar: It’s the German implementation of GDPR.
I work in privacy law and most countries have some sort of GDPR like laws. Even China has one now.
Can you tell me more about Chinas GDPR equivalent? How toothless is it in a country with that much surveillance from cameras to chat surveillance? Can you give cases where people were able to use it to win in court and changing the system the state was running?

Brazil has the LGPD but it isn’t as powerful as the GDPR or even the CCPA fwik
Netherlands has AVG and the AP to enforce it.
Which is probably EU mandated so I’m assuming most, if not all EU countries have something similar.
