They want to create magic with regulation like gdpr that removes the ability for other organizations to have as much data. NSA-types are trying to appoint themselves as the only people able to massively collect data with no opt out.
- rantanplan 8y agoWhat you say makes zero sense. NSA benefited from companies having access to people's data. Those companies were doing their job for them, for free.
- whataretensors 8y agoWhat doesn't make sense? They would rather have sole access to all the data even at the expense of having to build their own tools. It's not the first or the last attempt of government taking power through 'protection'.
- saagarjha 8y agoWhere would they get their data from? People voluntarily and freely give their data to many companies; if they stopped doing that the NSA would significantly fewer places to gather their data from.
- whataretensors 8y agoExcept they don't have to delete information. They can try any trick that will work and aren't limited to what the users provide. Data is power. The rule setters change the rules to favor themselves, as they always do.
- rantanplan 8y agoYou just throw aphorisms around, with no elaboration whatsoever. You answered neither to my nor your immediate parent's post.
- jacquesm 8y agoLegislation like the GDPR makes it harder for outsiders to get at the data that companies have including NSA like entities. This is because companies will spend - for the first time ever - some serious $ on getting their stuff secured rather than to see security as some hard to avoid theater they need to take part in. You can already begin to see the difference and the law hasn't even come into effect yet.
- gleenn 8y agoPersonally, I've seen companies holding back waiting to see how GDPR actually pans out in courts before investing in fixing things, albeit my view is pretty anecdotal. Where have you seen companies being proactive?
- BigJono 8y agoI mean, that's a valid strategy. As long as you're ok with potentially being the first company to get absolutely smoked by it.
- jacquesm 8y agoWell, if they like playing the lottery that's their problem. The companies that I see that are being pro-active are the companies that pass by - one per week, regular as clockwork - in my practice. So far all the companies I've looked at this year so far had a GDPR impact study or something closely resembling it done. Quite a few had engaged outside help but also plenty of them did their own homework and the vast majority had already made changes to their applications and processes to get closer to being compliant.
