GDPR is going to be a tax on software for a good chunk of time

Unless you are Facebook or Google or Amazon or Microsoft (etc), most reasonably responsible companies will already be very close to GDPR compliance. The regulations really are not too onerous.

"Don't be evil" might cover it ...

From what I've seen, I wouldn't be too surprised if some practices make this hard for some companies. In particular, mixing customer data with company data and having a practice of tomb stoning rows.

Tomb stoning?

Marking a database record as "dead" to hide it from view without actually deleting the data.

Thanks for answering! Apologies if I used a term that isn't wide use, yet.
