Why would you feel bad for them? They have had 2 years to prepare for this, hopefully a few fines here and there will make people realise this _is_ a big deal and they can't just ignore it.
About time too, I really really hope this has an incredible profound impact on privacy and the EU will demonstrate this is a law people _must_ abide by.
- adamnemecek 9y agoSorry it was autocorrect. Wanted to say can’t say I feel bad for them.
- riantogo 9y agoMaybe the next version of GDPR will tighten the screws and take it all the way to the end user. You install some app and share your contacts with it? Pony up 10% of your annual income. You forgot your phone in a cab? That is putting everyone who has ever emailed you at risk. 15% of your annual income as fine for your carelessness. Would you still support it? Such sweeping laws require a lot of thought and debate. It is unfair to say, “hey they had 2yrs so it is their problem”. We need to do better than, “must abide by law” and push for just and fair laws.
