Dude, relax. I'm also a Jordan Peterson fan. I was cracking a joke.

your post did not contain nearly enough information to judge as such.

the average response I get.. in here.. and in that womens thread... gives me zero reason to relax.
if you really are a fan of his... perhaps you'll understand why I feel the way I do.
don't relax.  do better.

Isn’t this new law to protect us from private companies mining our data, not the Big Brother keeping an eye on us? 

what is the difference?

There isn’t any. Isn’t it obvious by now that the government and private entities will use any new invention to make gains for themselves, security, profits, whatever. To me it’s not about what laws will be enforced to protect my data online, it’s about how much I’m willing to educate myself about it and what I’m willing to put out there.

It is simple anything you do online is open to anyone. If you don't believe this than gtfo.

Alright, do it with me. Breathe in through the nose *inhale* and out through the mouth *exhale*. In *inhale* and out *exhale*.

its rather hilarious that you think you can derive my emotional state from typed words.
perhaps it says something about you, that your first image is of a hyperventilating sjw type. I'm just laughing at, not with.. this joke of a forum.

perhaps it needs a Guideline #2:  Keep it Stupid, Stupid.

The interesting thing to me will be the case law to come out of this. Every one of us commenting here has explicitly agreed that what we post becomes the property of the Proj. i.e., when you signed on here, you expressly agreed that what you post here ain't your information. This flies in the US, but I would suspect that it won't under the GDPR -- which jurisdiction will the Proj fall under?

And when the current administration tells the EU to sod off (not if, when, cause the current HDIC thinks he has a big swinging one), how will the EU collect any fines assessed?  

It is explained in the GDPR. You are required to have a rep. in the EU if you do business in the EU.

GDPR is not about tossing out fines left and right. Its about compliance businesses need to make regarding personally identifiable information if they do business within the EU.

It's about giving power back to the consumer. I wouldn't wager that any fines will be dolled out except for the worst offenders. Like, say ViperScale's background check company has a data breach, and those millions of EU citizen's personal info gets released by a couple of hackers and later sold on the dark web, and said company didn't divulge the security breach.

That's a paddlin'
