I am not talking about direct ancestors, but ancestors. A lot of your great-great-great....-aunts and uncles died, because of lacking medicine hygiene, famine, war, accidents and a whole lot of other preventable reasons.
The argument that humanity survived before vaccines is like this dumb tweet that the black plague disappeared on its own. It just killed a third of Europe's population to do so.

yeah but a huge lot of them also died long before that.

Our ancestors aren't necessarily human

The US did basically nothing, but the EU canceled its safe harbor agreement with the US in 2015.

That basically allowed the US to export personal data from the EU, because it was deemed safe. This was needed for Facebook and other services to work smoothly. In 2016 a similar agreement called the Privacy Shield then allowed the export again, but the EU was wary of the US by now and soon canceled the agreement again in 2020 after the CJEU again determined the US to be in breach of it.

Since March 22 we now have the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, but I can assure you that it is very likely that the US still doesn't give a fuck about EU privacy and will soon breach this agreement too. It's basically always the commission allowing the US to export EU data until the courts strike it down again.

So it made exporting personal data and spying on EU citizens a little harder.

Additionally, https basically became standard instead of the not encrypted http.

It's a matter of perspective. An extremist is generally someone diverging from the mainstream of society.

If you are the British empire anyone wanting to split from you is an extremist. You yourself might not label yourself that, but they certainly wouldn't and have.

Extremism has helped a lot of causes succeed too. I would call any Revolutionary an Extremist since they literally go to war to achieve their goal.
