GDPR-10 Years After Original Proposal


Jonathan Armstrong and Tom Fox return for another episode of Life with GDPR. In this episode, they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the initial proposal of the law, which became GDPR. Some of the issues they consider include:

  1. What was in the original proposal that did not become enacted in the final law?
  2. Reduction in costs-what happened?
  3. Right to be Forgotten morphed into something very different than intended.
  4. Fines, Fines, Fines.
  5. Evolution of regulatory sophistication.
  6. Criticism of regulators.
