Maybe some companies have overreacted, but dismissing them feels a bit like blaming the user for bad UX.
Couldn't you argue that a law that causes a panicked overreaction was a poorly written law in at least one respect, given that laws have a communicative function?
Especially if all these complaints were raised well in advance of the passage of the law, so that the drafters had plenty of warning that several groups were struggling to understand the text?
- TomK32 8y agoThe regulation was in the making since 2012. Plenty of time I'd say https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Timeline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula... The german Wikipedia has a lot more details on the history and development of the regulation: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datenschutz-Grundverordnung https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datenschutz-Grundverordnung
- DanBC 8y agoSeems pretty clear to me that a lot is taken into account and that the regulators can't go straight to huge fines. https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-83-gdpr/
