The UK is required to continue with GDPR post-Brexit for EU Citizens
- noir_lord 9y agoYep, We are doing it at work at the moment and whatever legislation we implement post-Brexit has to be at a minimum as strong as GDPR. It's causing us problems but I wholeheartedly support the regulation and the intent of the regulation. I also expect once we are outside the EU that the EU will stop pussy footing around with us (we (Britain) get away with murder by ignoring bits we want to and as a member they don't come down hard enough on us).
- gaius 9y ago(we (Britain) get away with murder by ignoring bits we want to and as a member they don't come down hard enough on us). Actually it's the opposite: the UK tends to "gold plate" any regulations from the EU and will most probably go on doing so. Other EU countries tend to pick and choose the bits they want; the EU either turns a blind eye or is toothless to enforce them. You'll get much better GDPR support in the UK where we have been looking for a way to tax Google and FB for years, than you will in EU member Ireland where they funnel all their profits in a sly deal.
- mseebach 9y agoI'm not sure how the GDPR would apply to interactions that happens entirely inside a non-GDPR country, such as an EU citizen signing on to wifi in, say, China or the US, or in a hypothetical post-brexit UK that repealed the GDPR. There are, of course, provisions for cross-border digital services, but there's nothing cross-border about these wifi services.
