How GDPR Will Change The Way You Develop

"Either they have the organizational capacity to handle private information properly, or they should not do it at all."

While I admire the intent here, in the world at large it seems that multinationals and governments fail at this one with monotonous regularity and Blanche's final line - 'Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers', has been adopted by the computer security industry as the unofficial motto.

What I've seen from the world at large is not large multinationals failing at handling private information properly, but rather them not trying to handle private information properly. I.e. it's not because they're incapable of doing so if they wanted, but that they didn't even attempt to do so. GDPR is a way of forcing some of them to stop handling the information, and forcing those who do to actually start trying.

And you're fine with all of the organizations smaller than "large multinationals" possibly having to shutdown and layoff all of their employees?
