Cool dude. You don't plan to take care of my data I certainly don't want to be entrusting you with it.

- ryanwaggoner 8y agoFalse equivalence. I don't misuse any user data, never have or will. But I'm still not compliant, nor will I be for the foreseeable future, unless someone can tell me why I should care about a law from some other country that has no mechanism of enforcement?
- packet_nerd 8y agoYou may handle my data appropriatly, but how the hell do I know? Take some guy on the Internet's word for it? What I do know is that massive numbers of services like yours are missusing, mishandling, or lossing my data every year. I'm not OK with that.
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoOK, if you don't trust me, then please avoid using my service. It's no problem for me. But I won't jump through hoops to reassure you. The cost is too high for too little benefit. Two things could swing this in another direction: 1. The EU figures out how to levy fines or force compliance against small businesses in other countries. 2. The revenue loss from EU users and possibly others is so large that the benefits once again outweigh the costs. Very skeptical on both counts. Until then, the GDPR goes on a large pile of perhaps well-meaning laws passed by foreign governments that don't apply to me and that I can safely ignore.
