Stop complaining about GPDR and the hard work required to be compliant. You had over two whole years to work on it but you waited until the very end.

Or you know, build services that are gdpr compliant from the start...

GDPR is repeating history, remember pci?

People freaked out, companies freaked out, it was a complete mess, and now businesses start building pci-compliant software form the start.

No one bothered to deal with credit card data appropriately, and the standards fixed it. Now it's the personal data.

@Frederick no they didn't, that's absolute bs.

@Frederick "could face" and "got" make a big difference

@oudalally it's a start. Non Europeans don't even have that.

And it isn't for nothing. A significant portion of web activity happens with just emails.

OP, do you work with IT?
No, thought so ;)

@fuck2code tbh, you need to pretty much tell the regulator to fuck off for them to fine you...

They'll contact you with questions if there's a complaint, then they'll try to help you solve it (within a reasonable time) and only if you really, badly fuck up, you'll get fined.

@oudalally you are incorrect, they cant use your data in any way, texting and calling is also not allowed unless you either giver permission or if they have to to serve their service you wanted.

It indeed is for most solutions not a two years task, but there is managers that think its something that can be done somewhere in between the other tasks.

@Condor why Facebook would get fined? Maybe because their whole business model is whoring around with the users' data?
