I'm unsure of all the negativity regarding the GDPR here. GDPR compliance is catching up with your project's "ethical debt" in much the same way as a project sometimes has to deal with a "technical debt". If it's unimportant, it's of no concern. If you kept up with good practice, it's of no concern. It's only if it's important and you let the debt accumulate that it could potentially be a problem.

> GDPR compliance is catching up with your project's "ethical debt" in much the same way as a project sometimes has to deal with a "technical debt". This is needlessly polarizing. I don't have any ethical issues with a service not letting me delete my account or download all my data. Sure, it's nice, but it's not an ethical issue if they don't. I also don't have issues with services processing and analyzing _their_ data (it's not my or our data) any way they choose without notifying me.

  It's not an ethical issue for you, but the world is made of many other people, and it is an ethical issue for them.
