[NCUC-DISCUSS] Compilation of questions to CEO

[Robert Guerra]

I hope i’m wrong, but the desire for a moratorium (ie. delay) might 
come from the lack of understanding of the scope and breadth of a 
European “regulation” vs a  “US” regulations, that are  - far 
more easily revised and/or repealed by lobbying efforts (see refs below)

It is, ultimately - what has always been the issue - a lack of 
understanding what a fundamental right Privacy is….

regards

Robert
