GDPR Nirvana versus reality
The reality of the GDPR is that there will just be a whole load more terms and conditions attached to every website and every agreement that no one will ever read, at least past page 97.
The same as the EU Cookie Law, loaded with good intentions but the actual result is just a rather pointless click through message on most websites.
And around page 390 it will say something like "please note that if you withdraw consent for data about you to be processed by ourselves and the people we have flogged it to, and the people they have flogged it on to, it may take up to a millenium for this to be actioned". I paraphrase, of course, as it will all be in the most impenetrable legalese.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
