I forgot that I am echoing my twitter feed into facebook. I woke up to hal a bazillion comments 🙂  here is a very small sampling of what I got back .

Thursday night – private matters

I received 26 “we;ve updated our privacy policy’ emails in the last 3 days.. from online florists and iot providers, from hacker sites and credit cards, 3d printer manufacturers and auction sites.. I’ll bet you did as well. 

it’s because today is GDPR-eve. GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.

GDPR regulates  persoanl data privacy and certain personal rights like the right to be forgotten. 

I think it’s a very good thing.. perhaps a little missconstructed.. but it’s heart is in the right place..

if a law can have a heart. 

I was goign to say soemthign funny abotu that.. but I seem to have forgotten it !

Happy GDPR everyone !
