I like this reply. Thanks for it.

> For one thing, as with any legislation, simplifying it to a limited number of examples is guaranteed to lead to error by omission. I'm sure that you've noticed that when legal firms post guidance about the GDPR (and in private correspondence like you would have received in your own conversations with lawyers), they are never as definitive or absolute in their advice as this blog post is.

You'll notice they never concrete advice on anything really. For the same reason no matter how strong your case is they'll always tell you that you might lose. Lawyers say lawyer things.

And yet whenever the negatives of GDPR comes up in discussions someone is there to always ensure everyone that "don't X, it's just that easy". It really really doesn't appear to be that easy.
