Sarah Jeong, The Verge; No one’s ready for GDPR
"The General Data Protection Regulation will go into effect on May 25th,
and no one is ready — not the companies and not even the regulators...
GDPR is only supposed to apply to the EU and EU residents, but because
so many companies do business in Europe, the American technology
industry is scrambling to become GDPR compliant. Still, even though
GDPR’s big debut is bound to be messy, the regulation marks a sea change
in how data is handled across the world. Americans outside of Europe
can’t make data subject access requests, and they can’t demand that
their data be deleted. But GDPR compliance is going to have spillover
effects for them anyway. The breach notification requirement,
especially, is more stringent than anything in the US. The hope is that
as companies and regulatory bodies settle into the flow of things, the
heightened privacy protections of GDPR will become business as usual. In
the meantime, it’s just a mad scramble to keep up."
