Facebook and Google hit with $8.8B in lawsuits on day one of GDPR
Zero surprise. Gonna be a bonanza for lawyers. We got patent trolls now we&#x27;ll have GDRP trolls. I like parts of this law like being able to see all the data they have on me and actually delete it but imo you consent when you sign up for the service. Don&#x27;t like what they are doing; Don&#x27;t sign up. If this guy wins it legalizes freeloading which is theft by government. Infrastructure cost money and I get it FB has the scale to absorb some of the costs but a lot of companies likely won&#x27;t when now they have to defend themselves from lawsuits as well as added compliance costs.
