It's different.
Google Takeout was/is a nice user feature. Google is not required to pass all of user's data.
GDPR compliance is different, companies are required to pass basically a database dump by law.
- ehsankia 8y agoHow is that relevant? If anything, that actually goes to show the point being made, which is that Google had this available everywhere before GDPR even existed. Most other companies, including Apple, are only doing this because they have to in Europe, whereas Google did it arguably for better reasons.
- qwertay 8y agoThe GDPR was wonderful. One of the websites I use had an export option but it only gave some of the data which didn't include the bit I wanted and then the GDPR came along and now I get a CSV dump of every table for my user.
