EU data privacy laws explained

GDPR is the EU's new data protection law and it's meant to give users control over their data. But is it enough?

The government is trying to protect its citizens privacy? Whaaaat? Well, the government itself isn't affected. But it still sounds too good.
I don't know about an age limit of 16 for WhatsApp though.

[RobbertvanGomNeumann]

In other words no panic for EU users of Whatsapp one would say.

Where is my user agreement for the state?

[kevinzegarac]

Wait, does that mean if some page posted my pictures i can have them removed?

[AJVloggings]

I thought it was because of the Mark Zuckerbeg situation..

It's sudden and very impactful, but it has to happen. Hopefully the rest of the world will follow suit in time.

Yeah excelent, now make it so that same rules apply to EU & EU states goverment agencies.

Just so we're clear, The 🇬🇧 hasn't left the EU yet and i still got a message about it

[randomstuff-cuof]

Lol my class (13-15 year olds) all still use whatsapp who even thought of a 16 year age limit for an app not any more harmful than text messaging / calling via carrier

[mrmiteva]

law that wont be enforced lol...why bother

[spidohman]

So this is the reason why my Pubg mobile account is being deleted, because im under 16?
Also, I'm from the EU.
