GDPR: Don't Panic
For those of you understandably intimidated by the GDPR regulations themselves, here&#x27;s a good summary in plain English: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.varonis.com&#x2F;gdpr-requirements-list-in-plain-english&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.varonis.com&#x2F;gdpr-requirements-list-in-plain-eng...</a><p>The UK&#x27;s ICO also has a good structured summary: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ico.org.uk&#x2F;for-organisations&#x2F;guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ico.org.uk&#x2F;for-organisations&#x2F;guide-to-the-general-da...</a><p>In general I agree with the sentiments in this article. I&#x27;ve probably spent a total of three to four days reading around the GDPR and I don&#x27;t really see what&#x27;s special about this law other than it&#x27;s imposing decent standards on what was in effect a wildly unregulated industry in people&#x27;s personal data. If you have a broad distrust of any government activity then I suppose any new laws with &quot;fines up to €X&quot; might feel like &quot;I run a small site on a Digital Ocean droplet and I&#x27;m at risk of a €2m fine out of the blue.&quot; But that doesn&#x27;t make it true.
