- Symbiote 8y agoMany software developers in Europe are supportive of the GDPR, and many don't care either way. This continent still remembers when Nazi Germany and the Eastern Bloc tracked people to abuse and even kill them. That was never a direct concern in the UK, but people there are still strongly against government databases (see: UK national id card trial, NHS database trial) and in favour of the right to privacy.
- easymodex 8y agoIf you were actually tech-savvy you would have no problem with GDPR since it's actually really easy to implement properly.
- misterman0 8y agoHow un-original. I'm under the impression that anyone, tech savvy or not, who fails to understand what it is that GDPR regulate think it's crazy that we have it.
