GDPR is a good thing

GDPR stands for "General Data Protection Regulation". The author should have written this somewhere at the beginning of the article instead of just assuming all readers know what it is.

For what it's worth, the author's target audience appears to be folks who create enterprise CRM (customer relationship management) solutions, who would all almost certainly already know what GDPR stands for.

Your comment here is useful for the general HN reader, but the author may have been correct not spelling it out for his intended audience.

When I filled GDPR (I was only familiar with the Dutch acronym equivalent, AVG) in Duck Duck Go (non-bubble search engine) I easily figured the meaning. No offense intended.

I find that many comments on HN relies on knowledge of acronyms that are really close to insider knowledge (GDPR not being one though).
