You completely missed the point: GDPR is not a "small step" in the right direction, but counter-productive and detrimental for future efforts. Big companies will manage to comply with the legal requirements but ignore the spirit and intention of the GDPR, small companies will have more stumbling stones in competing with big corporations.
- M2Ys4U 7y agoThe GDPR is a small step. It's an evolution of data protection rather than a revolution. All of the fundamentals included in the GDPR were in the Data Protection Directive from 1995! Of course, the extraterritoriality is new, the level of administrative fines is much higher, but it's not like this popped out of nowhere.
- lazyjones 7y ago> The GDPR is a small step. Some people wish it to be, but it isn't just because they do. In order to be a small step forward rather than backwards, it would have to show actual positive results. It doesn't, all major data leeches claim to comply with it while retaining more data than ever before, all small companies struggle with it without bad intentions. Don't be deluded by idealism, look at the facts. It's about as effective at keeping your data safe as cookie banners are in preventing cookies, while having similar adverse effects on everyone.
