Companies should seriously consider implementing GDPR even in the US, it certainly made taking data dumps of customer data a lot harder and certainly private images like Government IDs were encrypted on disk. I’m surprised at the lack of security if I’m honest, at Yahoo! almost nobody had access to prod user data.

Essentially you cannot trust Coinbase IMO, might move the few hundred dollars of BTC out of there :-)

This is the crypto industry, who make the discrepancy between Theranos' claims and practice look conservative.

... and save the data in US cloud where everybody can access it.

It is really funny how FAANG can get away with data colkection in spite of GDPR.

  • Yeah this is really frustrating, especially the way the EU commission keep coming up with workarounds that the court will almost certainly strike down.
