> GDPR discussions: Americans trying to interpret European Law and European way of enforcing laws
Should they just pretend they don't exist? The Europeans haven't interpreted this law or provided a clear history of enforcement either. That's the point of these discussions – they're uncertain about the consequences of the law!
- raverbashing 8y agoOf course they shouldn't pretend it doesn't exist. But the interpretation should be seen in light of enforcement of current data protection regulations (as per ICO in the UK, and corresponding BDSGs in Germany, for example). GDPR is not "starting from zero" but it's based on current legislation. See for example: https://globalcompliancenews.com/data-privacy/data-protection-enforcement-in-germany/ https://globalcompliancenews.com/data-privacy/data-protectio...
- freeone3000 8y agoThe current regulation has been widely ignored and of no consequence to Americans. GDPR looks like it's going to be matter, unlike previous privacy laws.
