The GDPR is long but trivial to read, probably high-school level at worst. The EU website has the full text here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/

The GDPR is long but trivial to read, probably high-school level at worst. The EU website has the full text here: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=EN http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELE... (warning: MASSIVE page)
If that's still too hard, a summarized form can be found at https://www.gdpreu.org https://www.gdpreu.org
- tested24 9y agoThank you for showing me the supposedly trivial guide to understanding GDPR. The only thing that website has shown me is that no globally competitive tech company will ever grow out of the EU for the next hundred years or so.
- jkachmar 9y agoSo? Perhaps one of the facets of the GDPR is the EU’s willingness to accept that fostering “globally competitive tech companies” may not be in the best interests of itself or its citizens.
- BookmarkSaver 9y agoIf that's the case, then they are absolute morons.
- tested24 9y agoYes building tech companies that people love to use and provide high paying jobs does not benefit the citizens of a country
- losteric 9y agoMeth labs also create products with mass appeal and briefly high-paying jobs. Considering how social media is eroding American political discourse, Europe may be better-off in the long run even GDPR is as bad as you imagine.
