There's no way I give an AI access to my wallet, every expense he makes should be approved at least.

Status page, like my girlfriend, says everything is fine.

The situation can be improved by actually contributing instead of asking for features.

Is that really worse then the current geopolitical situation where you are indirectly trusting 3rd party governments (e.g north korea) not to start a nuclear war?

Even if new laws don't pass and the data is not shared with the US, what is stopping NSA from farming your data in some other EU country that is willing to cooperate?

Its going to become cookie law v2 with more annoying opt-ins

The law seems to extend beyond the borders of the EU.

Hi guys,

It's Kim from the Best Korea, and we just decided that we are going to allow our people to access the Internet.

There is a tiny little thing though, our internet policy stipulates that for every traffic hit to sites outside our borders, the country of origin either donates 1 nuke or if it doesn't have nukes an item of great value, or a 24 hour TV broadcast featuring me.

EU has a history of moralistic bullshit proposals like that stupid cookie law. Which looked good in the eye of the law-makers (career politicians I should call them) but doesn't really work in the real world.

People get used to accepting the stupid cookie law and it becomes a habit, and in a couple of years the law lost it's meaning (people blindly accept cookie law) and no-one cares about "the great privacy laws of the EU".

This is probably how GDPR will end up, no sane person would have the time to read all the privacy notices and the crappy opt-ins to just order food as fast as possible.

Hey I'm starving I need that food ordered now, here's my location so you can deliver food here, I don't give a rat's ass about your privacy statement and clickady clack are there any more opt-ins to check before I can finally order my food?

Hello mere mortals,

Its your favorite dictator, the leader of Crazystan and from 29th of May 2018 I ask that from that date, for every site accessed by citizens of my country I require the hosting company to send one employee to be sacrificed to our mighty gods.

Failure to comply will attract a fine of 50 Gazillion dollars.

Thats because the EU has no tech giants.

If Facebook was german there's no way that GDPR would of passed.

There are certainly allot large organisations that need a DPO, all these companies will compete on a small number of DPO candidates.

How are they suppose to fill the positions by 25th of May?
