Bill -

What's your view on various (lack of) privacy policies by various companies (eg, Facebook getting individual health data from 3rd party apps), and how do you think such behavior will shape tech going forward? Likewise, what's your view of GDPR, and what challenges does it impose for major tech companies?

Finally, do you think governments are doing a successful job corralling the desires of private entities when it comes to user's rights? What policy changes, if any, do you think consumers need?

I don't think it's a bad thing for people to remember that we are first a republic. That we've played almost direct democracy for quite some is fine, but that doesn't change the system. If the people want a different system, that's fine too, let's make one together. If you've been driving a jeep around town all year long, you shouldn't be upset when it gets scratched while taken off road like it was designed to do.

E: I guess that's not the best analogy.
