Social media applications and website like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Google have been filed with objections with in just a few hours of the latest General Data Protection Regulation law taking outcome.
The European Union’s flagship data protection laws have hit an early hitch, with several major USA news websites blocked to European users out of concern that they might fall foul of the rules.
Some US activists argue that the implementation offers an opportunity to give more privacy and data protection benefits to Americans. Pronto, on 4 May 2016, the revised regulation was published in the EU Official Journal in all the official languages of the organization.
Most domestic financial firms are expected to be able to comply with GDPR as they have made the required preparations, Koo told reporters on the sidelines of a corporate governance event in Taipei. So when it comes to data privacy, consumers are naturally becoming wary and the European Union is flexing its collective muscle in response. The concept of “personal data” in the regulation is also very broad and covers any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (or a “natural person”). “When it comes to personal data today, people are naked in an aquarium”.

IBM has released a white paper outlining some key ways that blockchain technology can be used to support the goals of GDPR and enhance compliance. “It also means you’re building and nurturing relationships”. A clause in the regulation – the “right to be forgotten” – makes it mandatory for a company to delete all the data it is holding about a client, if she so demands. Your consent must be renewed every 12 months.
While the GDPR applies to personal data of European Union citizens, the GDPR has sparked a change in privacy regulations across the world.
