> encrypt data at rest

What? No, you have to have a DPO, provide clear language on what you do with data, who it's shared with and no intrusive prompts having opt-in by default just to have a few.

None of those things have to do with the actual security of your code/data storage. They're procedural.

The GDPR focuses on procedural liabilities. You're asking for application level liabilities, which like I've said 3 times now, are a whole different ballgame.

Since you're so deadset on this, I'll just ask again: Who is liable for Heartbleed or for Meltdown? Who gets sued, and for how much, and why?

> Heartbleed

Anyone who doesn't make an effort to update. If your hardware is still Heartbleed fucked and you're selling it, you deserve to lose money.

> Meltdown

Intel and AMD.

> Who gets sued

Noone. Here's your product back, it's defective, please cut me a check, that's all.

Ah, so since android and ios are already provided for free, nothing changes for consumers?
