Clickbaity headline. It's not the "blockchain technology" as a whole, but some specific use of it that can potentially violate the GDPR. You don't need a blockchain to violate the law: you can do it with paper or mysql or usb keys.
Bottom line is: don't put your customers' personal data onto anything that you don't control.
Nothing to see here.
- cjbprime 9y agoI don't think it's clickbaity. There is a legitimate conflict in goals between this legislation and the increasingly popular use of public blockchains to store personal data. You don't need a public blockchain to violate the law, but it's hard to have a public blockchain without violating this law, if you use that blockchain to store personal data.
- fastball 9y agoThat is a simple problem to solve. You encrypt all data stored on the blockchain. You have the private key to your encrypted personal data on the blockchain. You can share this key with private corporations who want to use your data. In order to invoke your "right to be forgotten", you just ask the 3rd party to delete any record of your private key. Now they can't access your data. Simple.
