It's possible for you to be in violation of GDPR without "thinking of user data as something for you to harvest, mine, resell and profit from".
If it's "killing a few companies" and "a startup doesn't end up seeing the light" then "GDPR is doing what I'd like it to do."
That's a pretty shitty opinion to hold.
What did those companies and startups do wrong? I'm as tired of stupid startups as the next person, but I won't cheer for their failure unless they actually do something wrong.
- 3np 5y agoHow about adding third-party analytics integrations that compromise your visitors, tracks them around the web, and fail to protect that data properly as the analytics company gets acquired by another entity? Stop saving PII for profit/exploitation reasons and you're in the clear.
