GDPR, explained

This is a pretty bad law. We get all these free services because of the data gathered by the corporations. This helps them seem advertisement and make a profit. Most people are unlikely to go and opt in.. so how long will it be before the free services are no longer free?

I’m sure the EU will be happy to let Facebook and the rest continue what they’re doing if they keep suppressing anti-EU views and closing down accounts like they have been doing

Will the GDPR have a central based commission that dictates the rules and what happens, and like the TPP has overwhelming authority of the members country's due process, when it comes to data protection disagreements?

I'm sitting here surprised that a CNN show did an okay job covering this, despite a decade of misrepresenting "Net Neutrality".

The hope of humanity...

EU is going after American companies, and Alibaba is scraping and data mining at levels so far beyond, it is unbelievable!!

After the first week, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe has done far more damage that Brussels ever anticipated. This regulation, which was intended to really prevent political marketing against the government, is actually destroying the German Internet. Operators have chosen to simply shut down their websites for fear of lawsuits. Many online services have chosen to delete their users’ accounts. In case of violations of the regulation, companies face fines of four percent of their turnover.

At the same time, law firms are licking their lips and see a whole new fortune to be made while rubbing their hands. Lawyers have sprung into action and have set up consumer protection associations armed with this new regulation which explicitly states that consumers are entitled to take action for damages. Activists have targeted companies on a large scale all looking to make huge profits.
