Going mad...

[trapped_soul]

Do you think some members are going GDPR mad? OTT? Or do you think they're bang on to be so neurotic and fanatical about all aspects of this...

I think they are just trying to protect themselves from one of the most poorly written, ludicrous laws in existence.

Pretty sure most of the board owners never heard of GDPR, at least here in Germany, I haven't noticed anything about that at all. It's barely covered in the media aswell.
On the contrary, I had to sign multiple times in the past weeks IRL some kind of GDPR agreement, lmao.
So yea, I guess, they are taking it way too serious. GDPR was not designed to harm or tackle small communities.

I have to laugh... they say we have to write clear, concise and in plain English. Yet it's so widely open for interpretation - it's unreal.

Yes seems a lot of RL things need to be signed too. The last few weeks there's been a real flurry of activity about it, yet it's been on the horizon for ages.
Same with most things, I can't see them going for the little fish - more the big players really.

A lot of people try and make GDPR sound big and scary so they can upsell services. Fear makes people spend money more than almost anything else.

I think GDPR is going to get challenged in court and tied up for years most likely. It'll be 5-10 years before there is a true solid enforceable framework behind the GDPR I bet.

I'm actually wondering how XF staff is not getting tired and sick of GDPR questions. I wish there was auto-content tagging and auto-filtering for some defined tags

COPPA was going to send all forum admins to jail. That didn't quite happen

I think they all have gone mad, and all the topics being started on the subject are ridiculous.

Is that a reenactment of your mating dance?

I think I've made my opinion on GDPR known
