Wonder what will happen if the US passes laws enforcing companies to retain data for up to a year minimum for digital forensic integrity reasons of cyber criminal cases. Also maybe on the other hand GDPR is good for VPN services to be much more transparent.

I suspect there will simply be a direct pipe for logging to the government, where companies don't need to retain anything.

GDPR requires you to make that kind of information available.

However governments often have undisclosed access not even known to the holder of the information.

I doubt GDPR will significantly affect information to which the government wants access

Can I ask the government to delete all information on me?

There will undoubtedly be a lawsuit again soon over whether companies are allowed to transfer data out of the EU to US government warrantless requests.

I hope its Greece so we can all be as transparent as possible about the real issue here...

If I'm not mistaken, GDPR has the usual exemptions in place for that kind of usage (national security etc.), hasn't it?

Do we really believe large Chinese tech companies will be complying with GDPR?

Are there any that do a lot of business in the EU that you’re thinking of? I can think of lots of hardware, but not many traditional consumer Internet companies. Maybe Ali Baba for SMEs?
