Mornings With Mark

GDPR has been in effect for a few months and we're starting to see the first major rulings. Google was just hit with a 50m Euro fine for not being clear enough in their intentions with user data. Is this a turning point? While regulation and legislation is typically followed to the letter, there are a lot of areas of GDPR that have specific intent that might not line up with the language. Cases like this help provide clarity to those areas.
