    Brace yourselves for the Spam

    And snooping and invasion of privacy and whatever else Uncle Sam wants to do.

    Google's decision to shift control of UK user data to the US looks like a calculated political bet that Brexit will be a privacy disaster

    On the other hand the ability to combine all the devices a user has as a single target will do wonders for remarketing campaigns...

      GDPR had zero effect on spam - even from supposedly legit companies that actually identify themselves, it’s a fooking waste of money, I hope Boris scraps that piece of tulip of legislation

        You're an interesting specimen.

        Not so long ago you were a semi-rational human being, with diverse viewpoints and a very different posting methodology.

        These days you come across as a short sighted moron who lacks the ability to critical analyse information at your disposal.

        GDPR has clearly empowered individuals to fire off a GDPR erasure request that must be followed by the recipient business. I receive no junk mail or spam these days and it's put recruitment agents in their place too. Opt in, as with the organ donors register, is excellent.

        I'm presuming you had a mental breakdown a couple of years ago and 'something' happened to you. I hope you get better eventually; seems a sad loss to have turned into this negative unknowing sort of poster.

              Of course owners of big data apps want to see GDPR rules abolished. :

                Fear of foreiners being left at wild out there doing whatever foreiners do is worth loosing a lil bit of privacy here and there and companies selling your data to be able to profile your psychology and spending habits and line their pockets.

                  Facebook went global: 2006
                  GDPR "went live": 2016

                  A decade, before Brexit, but please...continue your ill-informed postings

                    Sure, but technologies to be able to process large amounts of data, derive information from it, large easily available clusters have only taken ground recently.
                    It is indeed the product of my deranged mind but I think you'd be very wrong to think that those things don't happen and no protection at all would be better than even the lightest framework that we can built upon.
