Quite a lot of this is in the GDPR: The right of [access,rectification,erasure,restricted processing,data portability] for personal data.
Personal data is defined as any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person, i.e. much wider than your identity. photos, health and probably also social graph fall under it.
- oblio 5y agoDo you remember the outcry from HN when GDPR was announced and then later launched? It was hard to understand just how much of it was pure hate for what the law represented or just people realizing that GDPR will affect their bottom line.
- BoxOfRain 5y agoI think more people complain about the implementation of the GDPR rather than its aims and philosophy. Those cookie popups for example are an absolute UX plague, anyone who'd heard the words "alarm fatigue" and vaguely comprehended what it meant could have told them it was a rubbish idea that papers over a yawning chasm. All that particular part of it achieved was making the Web worse. I block them all, and I've heard the British government is getting shot of them soon. They will not be missed.
- cnorthwood 5y agoThe cookie popups are not part of GDPR, but a separate law (ePrivacy Directive)
