Actually it is called ”General Data Protection Regulation”
Well isn’t that interesting, those little government devils are at it again with more controls.
On May 25th, 2018 there is a new law in the EU, that will apply to
all European and International companies that manage Personal Data of European citizens.
It is called GDPR
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation
Under the guise of Protecting You, but in reality a better and more efficient data collection process for authoritative bodies.
Why go through the trouble of collecting individual data one person at a time, when they can strong arm international companies to do it for them.
Again they play this for the good of you, but let me ask you this question; who gets hacked more than any other entity... governments. Be it real or contrived; “Unexpectedly Government Records have been hacked.” That is what we will here one day, same story scapegoat illicit agenda on hacker or terrorist groups.
It always starts slow and with your personal protection in mind...
But always ends up costing us personal protection and freedom.

Governments will not have the data... they will "only" know what kind of data process are you doing and that you are protecting the data well enough with a Business Impact and keeping all your customers informed of what are you doing. This should prevent companies selling the personal data without your knowledge.
If needed, I can explain further.
Yes as I said it all starts benign and of course helpful... like our income tax, tempoaray and benign. Unless we read the full charter, one can never know what is planned or set it motion.
Since you brought this to my attention, I defer to your explanation.
OK... I'm not doing a post... I'll try to keep it here.
First, This EU regulation will set a framework. This regulation sets what companies can and can't do with personal data. First, everybody was able to do what they want... people is tired of receiving spam.
Government does not have any copy of any data, so, if they are hacked, no other data is stolen, than the one they already have.
What is another objective of this regulation? Also, make companies responsible of the data they are managing, they should have a DPO (Data Protection Officer) that should be the contact with the European regulator to be contacted in case of any data leakage or security breach, just to be sure that the company has been protecting the information properly, but have been in an unexpected problem and the company will try to solve the situation.
The companies must abide to that regulation that they must "actively" show they protect the personal data they keep. The companies must know what they are doing with the personal data, must keep only the data they need for the "agreement", cannot have data not needed (for mailing, why shall you need the social security number?) and companies must have the permission of the person, to use their data for anything apart of the agreement.
So, the user must be informed of what is going to be done with his own data and must be able to ask.
Companies shall not share they data, companies shall keep them safe and be able to demonstrate they are protecting it and not using in a way the user does not allow.
You should do a post, as well.

Need more? ;)
Governments will always look to have as much control over us as possible, the more information they have on us, the more powerful they become. At least with blockchains we can withhold some privacy!
Couldn't agree more!
The first thing is to realize what they are doing and take steps in your personal life to circumvent it’s affects. It is not always possible or feasible... but still good practice for future issues.
They are authoritarian governments disguised as democracies.
As long as we keep awakening to their games, they will lose in the end. Just not soon enough for those already woke.
actually we need government support..... ......without we can't do anything............
I believe we could and one day will, work better without large omnipresent governmental controls.
