It has been 24 hours since GDPR came into effect. To be blunt, if anyone’s business has been affected dramatically, then their business is likely too brittle or unethical. If that’s the case, you should rethink your business model.
- SquareWheel 8y agoThat's a dangerous oversimplification. Standard best practices like logging server traffic with IP addresses, or making immutable backups with no way to edit that data now have serious problems. It's ridiculous to call them "unethical", and it has nothing to do with business models.
- ebiester 8y agoAlternatively, some part of your business has spent the last X months preparing for this so that their business won't be affected dramatically. I am easily tracked to my place of employment so I don't want to get into too many details, but we were doing things ethically but still had a non-trivial amount of going through, dotting our i's and crossing our t's, making sure that there weren't pockets of unknown data, putting together plans in case someone asked for data retrieval or deletion, etc. The longer a company's been in business, the more onerous the task is. I can't imagine what it would be like for a large company with mainframes still around.
