Precisely and furthermore, it’s unreasonable to expect Pinterest to prioritize millions of dollars in labor to speculate and react to provisional legislation. 1. There was no certainty GDPR was going to pass. 2. There was no certainty as to what language would be used in the final document. 3. There was no certainty as to how/when it would be enforced. By the time GDPR was actually passed, the lead time to enforcement was a slap in the face. And to be honest, the compliance dates felt like a calculated attack to further the EUs moronic crusade against Facebook and Google, knowing full and well they were unrealistic deadlines. Collateral damage to Instapaper and others is somehow a worthwhile trade off in the name of burning witches. So I say, let there be consequences.
