That’s an interesting view. Do you own a business where you had to implement GDPR or is this theoretical? Oh, and did you know that GDPR also affects the work of teachers, solo entrepreneurs, doctors and the like?

> GDPR also affects the work of teachers, solo entrepreneurs, doctors and the like? You say that like it's a bad thing.

  My strong believe is that regulation is a big burden for small companies and solo entrepreneurs and a big opportunity for the large corporations. Facebook and Co will use all the power and wit they have to circumvent any regulation. The solution is not more regulation. The solutions needs to be architectural

> That’s an interesting view. Do you own a business where you had to implement GDPR or is this theoretical? I'm obviously biased because I work for a company providing CRM software. That said, that gives me a decent amount of expertise in the matters too. Basically we need to get all our own customer-data and systems GDPR-compliant. Which I won't deny has been a reasonably big effort on our part. But instead of only doing this for ourselves, we've put all this effort into getting our own CRM-software GDPR-compliant instead, meaning in the process all our customers get to benefit from this at near zero cost. Basically: By using a modern, maintained and competent CRM-solution, you should get GDPR-compliance in your core-databases almost "for free". I won't push my own company here, but it should be trivial to find should you be curious. If your CRM-solution does not help you provide GDPR-compliance, you should consider how serious they are in these matters and if you want to continue using them. And if you don't have a CRM-solution at all (really?) it's definitely time to consider getting one, because that's going to be the absolutely best tool you will get w.r.t. ensuring compliance. > Oh, and did you know that GDPR also affects the work of teachers, solo entrepreneurs, doctors and the like? It affects stored and processed privacy-sensitive information. Why should certain professions or business-categories be excluded?
