Hacker News Reader

For what it's worth, the author's target audience appears to be folks who create enterprise CRM (customer relationship management) solutions, who would all almost certainly already know what GDPR stands for.

Your comment here is useful for the general HN reader, but the author may have been correct not spelling it out for his intended audience.

Author of article here. Just added it to the top of the article + a link to a short summary what GDPR is

thank you much. Was frustrating try to read the article without knowing what it is about

I find that many comments on HN relies on knowledge of acronyms that are really close to insider knowledge (GDPR not being one though).

When I filled GDPR (I was only familiar with the Dutch acronym equivalent, AVG) in Duck Duck Go (non-bubble search engine) I easily figured the meaning. No offense intended.
