- kerng 9y agoGood point. I see a lot of good things coming with GDPR, foremost a realization that its NOT ok to just store personal data without meaningful reasons and abilities to let one know what a company stores about them. It's not perfect, rather ambitious in can cases, but I like how these conversations are now happening more broadly.
- IBM 9y agoIt's funny that this comment has 10 upvotes but fell to the bottom of the page. No doubt there's a lot of vested interests against privacy legislation. To the Facebook and Google employees: it's already in the EU, and it's likely coming to the US in some form. If not at the federal level, certainly at the state level.
