Mine too. The risk is massive fines, while I currently derive virtually no benefit from my online presence.
> On one argument operating a blog is a purely personal activity and so out of scope of GDPR in any event.
I also own a business and previously several of my clients have come through my blog postings.
- pilsetnieks 9y agoDo you habitually post personally identifiable information of other people in your blog without their consent?
- grabeh 9y agoJust to be clear, there is little to no risk of someone running a simple blog getting fined by a data protection regulator. In the UK for example the ICO who regulate data protection matters concluded 17,300 cases, in which only 16 of them resulted in fines. I’m just intrigued as to how you have developed this perception of GDPR and data protection law looking to regulate small one man blogs out of existence? /edit oh and my other point still remains - even if you’ve got some customers through a blog, you don’t appear to be within scope of GDPR on the assumption you’re not directly looking to do business with EU based customers (for example through offering payment options in European currencies).

There are huge industries with vested interests against privacy and consumer data protection and they have deep pockets. That person, if not instrumental in spreading misinformation, must then be a victim of it.
