The GDPR exists because everyone has been a dick because they know they can get away with it. By default the mentality is take take take. Now the business models built on that are being trashed. If someone keeps burgling your house they need to go to prison. Simple as. Time is up for this way of thinking.
It is not difficult to be compliant. Most people don’t bother because they are drama queens or hiding what their business is really based on and the latter is usually not ethical by any manor and deserve to be shoved off a cliff.
People will have to do some real innovation instead of selling off data and working out how to attract people into a product that exists only to do that really.
- fiter 8y agoSaying that people need to be shoved off a cliff is not elevating your position. In fact, these kind of statements are exactly what make me concerned about regulations and laws. One has already made your mind up about a group of people and now it's time to execute.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoSuch is the result of tech industry overreach. Had they adopted a more moderate stance, people would not be calling for them to be pushed off the proverbial cliff.
- setquk 8y agoYes the data gathering side of the tech industry is sounding like they’re selling menthol cigarettes to sick people at this point.
- setquk 8y agoIt’s a metaphor. You’re already teetering. All it takes is a little push and you’re hurtling to your demise.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoIf it is a metaphor, presumably you mean more like "your business is hurtling to its demise."
- merinowool 8y agoGDPR exists as a proxy censorship tool to close sites using fines without looking like a socialist censor. GDPR is written so that every site can be found non complaint.
- setquk 8y agoPlease go and read the regulations and compliance. A monkey could work it out.
- merinowool 8y agoI read it five times at least. They are vague and arbitrary. Every site can be found non complaint.
- endless1234 8y agoIf that's the case, surely you have examples of similar EU regulations being used for censorship before this? The GDPR is hardly the first regulation businesses have to follow.
