First thing I did when GDPR came in was add a bit of middleware to my rails app to redirect all EU users to a 403 page.
Tracking users interactions with google analytics is a huge way to make my apps better. The last thing I want is to have to worry about getting fined.
Getting fined for having a FONT in my app is insane, but it's happened.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoIf you are small and not in the EU you can just ignore the GDPR, no-one is going to come after you. But, yes, you can of course simply refuse to serve certain jurisdictions.
- john_the_writer 4y agoFor me, it was that I wasn't sure if I would be picked up in the EU. To protect myself I just did what I could to prevent it. Better safe than sorry. But yeah.. if google just stopped working in EU for a day (not paid for Gmail), I suspect the EU would be a little less emboldened.
