For those of you understandably intimidated by the GDPR regulations themselves, here's a good summary in plain English: https://blog.varonis.com/gdpr-requirements-list-in-plain-eng...

The UK's ICO also has a good structured summary: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-da...

In general I agree with the sentiments in this article. I've probably spent a total of three to four days reading around the GDPR and I don't really see what's special about this law other than it's imposing decent standards on what was in effect a wildly unregulated industry in people's personal data. If you have a broad distrust of any government activity then I suppose any new laws with "fines up to €X" might feel like "I run a small site on a Digital Ocean droplet and I'm at risk of a €2m fine out of the blue." But that doesn't make it true.

Reminder: you have to legally comply with every letter of the GDPR, not just the TLDR version. Saying "but we implemented the TLDR version" is not a legal defence.

This concern applies to all laws though. Not murdering people doesn't require you to spend ages examining the exact text of a statutory definition of murder. The tl;dr version is enough for me to grasp that kicking somebody in the head until they stop breathing isn't allowed.
