I _suspect_ that when talking with policy makers they need to be persuaded
*also* using interesting studies like the Freedom to Tinker one _and_ the
"pizza effect" one

in particular, as I wrote, I'm really curious to see if and how GDPR will be
able to protect users "from themselves"

ehrm... I *fear* we need a _constant_ reharshal of this kind of discussion
because the phenomenology of "private computing agency" is complex and every
new "discovery" may help understand it

I personally know free software supporters (I'm not talking specifically of
FSFE supporters) who do not understand the dangers of proprietary
javascripts

Ciao
