Pick some small firm that knows all of its customers by name. Get an account there. Do just enough business that they remember you. Then close the account, demand your data be deleted, and two weeks later walk in the front door. If they remember who you are, bingo, lawsuit. And given that the minimum fines will bankrupt most small businesses they'll probably be willing to skip the courts and just pay you a more reasonable fee to go away. | |

| Jun 7, 2018 at 9:22 | comment | added | Vegard | @Renan; +1 You’re probably right, as it sounds sensible. I guess where I’m trying to go is to the question of what rights do we have to know things, and what rights do we have to use that information in a commercial setting. So where exactly are the boundaries drawn between data that one have in one’s head and data on a computer? Say a company hires someone that know a lot about some people in some community, would that company be affected by GDPR? | |
| Jun 6, 2018 at 11:55 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | That would violate GDPR. In this case the elves are both drivers and processors of data, and the fact that they are making commercial use of that information makes them susceptible to the law. | |
