And that's how privacy compliance as a service was born.

i hate this, but you're right. pointless regulations that lead to pointless jobs to oversee and sell compliance is such a net waste for society.

Unfortunately, you’re correct. Post GDPR I’ve been pitched many times by EU companies trying to be my representative for GDPR, so if that is any indication we’ll see a booming industry for that in the US as well...

Funny enough, the emails sent by these companies are not GDPR compliant and they’ve given me no indication as to how they gathered my info, nor do they give me an opt out.
