the laws you refer to preexisted. Did they tear down all the houses that don't comply with contemporary building standards? I dont think so. GDPR is enforced retroactively on everything since the beginning of the internet.
- kuschku 8y ago> Did they tear down all the houses that don't comply with contemporary building standards? No, they fined everyone that owns homes commercially that did not upgrade the homes to comply. And then fined them again. And again, until they complied.
- fiter 8y agoFor what it's worth, this is not generally done in the US.
- zerostar07 8y agoWhere did that happen? There were earthquakes recently in Italy that tore down super-dangerous but not illegal houses. In fact the construction sector is a very bad example here, because old buildings are usually covered by separate regulations , thats not true for software.
- kuschku 8y agoIn Germany for example with the new environmental regulations. Everyone selling their house, renting it out, etc had to comply.
- bkor 8y ago> GDPR is enforced retroactively on everything since the beginning of the internet. That is not allowed. GDPR is only enforced for things which do not comply after in goes into effect. Further, it's not specific to the internet.
- zerostar07 8y agoyeah i don't mean the violations. i mean it's a regulation that must applies to all software equally regardless of when it was written.
- Khaine 8y agoGDPR is already in effect. Enforcement has been deferred until 25 May to allow companies to comply with the legislation.
