No, I was a bit hyperbolic perhaps in response to the tone of the article or its headline. Of course there are responsible organizations who are affected and have costs associated with GDPR. Knowing nothing of what your clients do, 99% seems a bit hyperbolic to me, too. The reason email is so "hard" is because in reality not many people want to get the emails being sent. I find it annoying that I have to unsubscribe from a mailing list and sometimes even go out of my way not to get repeat snail mail when I'm being charitable and giving a donation to someone. Aside from all that, costs of doing business happen. I don't think the cost vs benefit is so out of kilter as you say. |

I do worry that a lot of GDPR compliance will amount to "box ticking" rather than a genuine improvement in user privacy.
Legislation is a blunt instrument and it's hard to get sizeable real world benefit from a heady mix of noble sentiment and complex statute.
