interesting, good to hear the blockchain won't suddenly need to be entirely reprogrammed to enable deletion of information in perpetuity (which would kind of be in the opposite direction of the whole concept of permanent storage X/)
I've seen an... interesting... reaction to the GDPR:
stop dealing with europeans
Got an email from one of the more irritating newsletters that I never remember where I subscribed to, and noticed this disclaimer at the bottom:
You received this email because you subscribed to our list.
This newsletter is intended for US audiences in accordance to EU GDPR compliancy. Any links herein do not direct to EU websites, products, or services, and our offers are not intended for members of the EU.
I sens some.. sidestepping... of the compliance part of the regulation here XD
hehe.. I'm pretty sure that that attempt to sidestep is irrelevant as far as the EU is concerned as the legislation states that it applies everywhere as long as EU people are the data 'subjects'.. That said, I think they misunderstood the terms of the legislation, since as far as I know it is also irrelevant whether links point to the EU or not as all that is at issue is whether private data of identifiable humans is being stored.
yeah, I imagine a lot of people must have given it VERY fast read through or read a summary somewhere, and this particular person though she's found an "easy" way out.
Though it IS kind of the same principle as ICO's who inform you that you can't invest in them if you're a citizen of the US, or X other countries.
Yes, that's bullshit, too. If the SEC wants to make an example of EOS, they'll nail them for advertising on Time Square. Their terms and conditions won't save them when they aren't in line with reality.
