Is there no way to (mostly) automate GDPR responses? I too want to see Blizzard crash, but I don't like abuse of the law, and even less when the law in question has as many upsides as the GDPR.
- zamalek 7y agoIt may be possible with greenfields projects (write a single service to store this data). A system that in unprepared for GDPR (read: all systems before GDPR) habitually store redundant information everywhere. E.g. in-game chat logs.
- munchbunny 7y agoThe hard part about automating the responses is that most companies haven't put in the large amount of investment necessary to fully automate data provenance. I'd bet that most companies have enough data to actually figure out what is about which user if push comes to shove, but imagine having to crawl through your 5-10 years of accumulated ORM and ETL hackery to fully automate the ability to swim upstream through all of the dark corners of your microservices to pull that data together. I'm obviously exaggerating a bit, but for companies like Blizzard that have been continuously developing Battle.net for over two decades, you can bet there are some dark corners in the data pipeline.
