There is so much misunderstanding around GDPR, it's frightening.
- tatersolid 6y ago> There is so much misunderstanding around GDPR, it's frightening. That’s because the law is intentionally vague and has uneven enforcement baked into its design. To be clear: I am a privacy advocate and agree that GDPR is not a barrier to medical trials, but it is basically a mess of a regulation. It’s almost as if the legal industry was consulted and wrote it to ensure continuing billions in legal fees from every company in the world.
- pestaa 6y agoWhat part of it makes you suspect intentional vagueness? There are still technical scenarios for which the law has not been tried, and no consensus exists among experts. Much confusion, in my opinion however, comes from overinterpreting the regulation. The EU certainly has technocratic tendencies, but I firmly believe the spirit of GDPR is at the right place.
