I'm a EU citizen and proud of EU actually, something I don't feel very often btw, for being in the forefront in law-making that protects the privacy of individuals.
My vocabulary has been enriched with a new word: PII. I like it. It simplifies when thinking about GDPR. I expect one or two years from now I'll know the important parts of GDPR like the back of my hand.
But right now every person in the world running a multinational company needs to understand a new piece of legislature that threatens 4% of their annual revenue. You have better things to do and so I understand everyone's anger.
But is it wrong to force business-runners to learn about GDPR, stuff that's pretty close to human rights, like "don't track any of my PII without telling me exactly what you plan to do with it"? Is it wrong to now have to learn this, as a web/app developer?
I'm sooooo sick of being tracked. It has definitely made me exit the social media world all together, six months ago. Even though it is detrimental to my career I even asked Linkedin to erase my data. I truly hope my career isn't screwed just because I refused to give Microsoft a detailed description of 30% of my person, my whole work life that they can connect to an email address (some people even give them their phone number), IP, tracking cookie, thus a Facebook profile, real or shadow, thus to the most detailed graph of PII there is, probably in the whole universe. Hopefully in the whole universe otherwise civilizations on other planets took a wrong step somewhere.
I hope GDPR leads to PII being treated as gold by the market because it's so rare. Because isnt' it better to skip all this tracking-business that having to deal withstuff like GDPR?
No cookies for me please. Ans I'm also sick of having to run javascript.
