The law could simply punish those who do harm. All you are getting now is further boltering for those you end up being gamed to sign up for. I understand the pupose and intent of the law but it could have been done much more elegantly. Those who want to missuse your data will still do that they will just find another way to do it.
- realusername 8y ago> The law could simply punish those who do harm That's exactly what the GDPR is doing I feel, you get punished for data misuse, it looks a good idea to reduce this kind of abuse. > All you are getting now is further boltering for those you end up being gamed to sign up for. I did not get gamed to sign up, they just scrapped my data and added me to their database, I did not do any action and they did not made me sign up with a trick (I also had a few of those yes but the majority are just data scrapping) > Those who want to missuse your data will still do that they will just find another way to do it. That's the argument you could make with every law basically. I also hear the same argument for car speeding "they could just drive faster at another place and not get caught". It's indeed true but it's not because there's still ways of misuse that we should abandon everything.
- ThomPete 8y agoNo, it also requires companies to make a lot of bureaucratic exercises. If it only punished for misuse and didn't put the bureaucratic burden on companies I would have no problem with that. It's that it makes it burdensome for a lot of companies who are aren't actually misusing your data. This is my main argument and GDRP is only the beginning now EPR is going to be implemented making it even harder to make it work in a digital economy.
