elborro··on Apple's best product is now privacy

Sadly also Apple collects data on their users. Last year around 300TB a day on what users search for, which apps they use, how many times, where you click and navigate through the OS and in the apps, etc. :(

elborro··on Ask HN: Are governments and other public sector organizations exempt from GDPR?

No. Every EU country is required to implement GDPR as a law. All government bodies have to abide their own countries laws.

As an example; the implementation of GDPR in The Netherlands is called AVG, and it's currently discussed that the tax authorities might be the first to receive a warning or fine.

elborro··on Facebook’s tracking of non-users ruled illegal again in Europe

The DPR has been implemented since 1998.

GDPR had been announced 2012, implemented fully in 2016. Active enforcement will start May 2018 with again a temporary period to allow companies to correct. Refusal to comply after that can result in penalties up to a maximum of 4% of the companies global revenue.

How much courtesy lead time does a company actually need to comply?
