Perfect example of how regulations designed to serve one purpose can in fact create just as many problems as it solves.
They meant to give consumers insight into their own data. Instead they created a process for getting previously locked up private data out of the company, which is prone to human error and / or intentional abuse. Nice.
- guitarbill 8y agoIt shows how lax companies are with our data, and that products aren't designed with privacy from day one, but shoddily bolted on after the fact (if at all). Blaming the GDPR/"regulations" here is completey misguided.
- Johnny555 8y agoBut the problem was still there: poor control over stored recordings. It could have surfaced another way, like a law enforcement request for some suspect's recordings and being sent someone else's recordings. So the regulation is not at fault here, "they created a process for getting previously locked up private data out of the company, which is prone to human error and / or intentional abuse" is the real problem.
