Facebook tries to offload the responsibility to developers. This is shady at best and I hope the law catch up.

But there is also the problem of developers that just don't care. Or, developers that think they care but can't even be bothered to research what a library they include in an application actually does. This is is something that the death of facebook will not solve.

GDPR has already been paid off, every day for every user both in the online and offline world is a victory, and examples of it was shown in the talk as well. How GDPR pushed developers to discover this issue and demand solutions for their own apps. How facebook improved the ability for developers to be privacy conscious etc. (hardly by choice, but even they didn't think they could get away with less)
