And we know how strict these big companies are about voluntary compliance to the GDPR. ;-) I’m glad at least someone is putting in rules against this fuckery but, sadly, once that data is sold to the first outside vendor (Cambridge Analytica, Palantir, etc.) it’s out there and lives on the internet forever, even if the big boys are brought to heel by the EU.
Even the ones who actually want to respect the law won’t spend the time to double-check GDPR compliance with every little thing they do.
Almost everything that’s ever happened is a violation of article 44. In fact, the EU supreme court (I guess you’d call it) declared pretty much all EU-US data transfers from the last 20 years as unlawful. Fun.
