I had high hopes for the GDPR (the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation), which famously went into effect one year ago. I even suggested that we re-brand 25 May “Privmas Day” (hashtag #privmas) since I expected the GDPR would go far toward protecting personal privacy online, which prior to that date had been approximately nil. I even published, here in Linux Journal, what I called an FUQ for the GDPR.
