> I can imagine GDPR being useful in the EU for corporate FB accounts. Wasn't FB working on a work-specific version of their site? If so, corporate legal teams would get involved in leaks, I would imagine.
I can imagine GDPR working very well for consumers as well, and it seems we are up for some real legal entertainment in the next few months/years :-)
