GDPR would have required the app provider to encrypt our personal data and in addition it would have required the government (or who ever is working with them)

GDPR would have required the app provider to encrypt our personal data and in addition it would have required the government (or who ever is working with them) to make sure either through audit or legal agreement that this is happening. At a minimum it would guarantee legal consequences for those companies that are not protecting PII
- luckylion 7y agoThe issue is that "requiring best practice" doesn't really help a lot when people/companies/institutions are simply breaking the law. If I understand correctly from the article: Political parties in Israel receive the information of Israeli voters before the elections and have to protect their privacy and cannot copy, erase or transfer the registry. But they did, because reasons. It would be nice if they committed their extralegal activities with more care so they create less collateral damage, sure, but the issue is that people/companies/institutions who don't care about law ... don't care about the law. > At a minimum it would guarantee legal consequences for those companies that are not protecting PII I understand the sentiment, and I wish that was true. Alas, my experience is that it is not.
