This quote is bonkers: > like “an oblique reference, like the tall bald guy who lives on East 18th Street. If someone said that in an email, that would be information you’d need to provide me with access to under the GDPR,” says Straight. I have no idea how anyone who deal with user-generated content can possibly comply with that. Even if you had an actual person reading through all your content to try and find data related to "Jason Straight", without personally knowing him there's no way they would know that this is referring to that person. I see a lot of complaints about 1500 page bills in front of Congress and so on, but this kind of nonsense is exactly why you need 1500 pages of dense, precise language to define these laws.
