Have you thought how(or if) GDPR will affect your product?

Making a screenshot was way easier and since I didn't had to spend time to figure out how to use the bitmap API and its edge cases. Especially large pictures on low end devices caused crashes.
GDPR would be a nice "tool" to validate the actual deletion of personal data.
It's shocking how much sensitive data is sent by mail (contracts, passwords, lawyers, etc..) without pgp signing / encryption on a daily basis.
I-scoop[0] explains it well. Do some digging in the documents[1] and you'll get the idea where it's heading to.
"Respect for the privacy of one’s communications is an essential dimension of this right, applying both to natural and legal persons. Confidentiality of electronic communications ensures that information exchanged between parties and the external elements of such communication, including when the information has been sent, from where, to whom, is not to be revealed to anyone other than to the parties involved in a communication. The principle of confidentiality should apply to current and future means of communication, including calls, internet access, instant messaging applications, e-mail, internet phone calls and personal messaging provided through social media."

Completely agreed, it's a complete jungle of information and the source documents are hard to digest.

It's either secure or it isn't. Fun fact; Europe's ePrivacy law is coming next year which enforces all communication to be secure.
An other new technology to watch is IOTA ( https://iota.org ) not blockchain based, no fees and scalable.
