This 🧵+ underlying decision really highlight the fundamental incompatibility between most #GenerativeAI tools & #GDPR style laws. That's obvious.

There was also a fundamental incompatibility between #blockchain and the #GDPR but law & policymakers largely chose to ignore it (of course it didn't matter as much because the tech wasn't as consequential). medium.com/berkman-klein-…
