I'm not going to get into a long discussion about the fine points of the GDPR. I've engaged in several, and they go on for countless comments with self proclaimed HN GDPR experts saying how each thing is easily overcome, followed by a deluge of downvotes for every comment saying that they are (legitimately) wrong. But here's just one place to get you started:

- gerdesj 8y agoI'm not going to get into a long discussion about the fine points of the GDPR Why not? HN is a pretty fair forum. I'm not familiar with exchangewire and that link is dated July 2016. We've all passed a lot of water since then.
- DanBC 8y agoYou get downvotes because you make many factually incorrect statements.

- downandout 8y agoSuch as? Again, please show me where it says that a maximum fine for a first offense is prohibited by law.
- DanBC 8y agoWe've already pointed out the "proportionate" clauses of the law, as well as the decades of regulation where the maximum fine has never been imposed.
- downandout 8y agoWhich makes zero difference, because the statute does not define "proportionate" and does not otherwise constrain the fines. Who is "we" btw? Are you teaming up with others to defend GDPR on HN?
