Long seen as untouchable in Brussels, the GDPR is next on the list of the EU’s crusade against overregulation.

Europe’s most famous technology law, the GDPR, is next on the hit list as the European Union pushes ahead with its regulatory killing spree to slash laws it reckons are weighing down its businesses.

The European Commission plans to present a proposal to cut back the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, in the next couple of weeks. Slashing regulation is a key focus for Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as part of an attempt to make businesses in Europe more competitive with rivals in the United States, China and elsewhere.

      In theory you just need to have a way for people to contact you, like an email address. And then when you get an email you just need to handle their data according to the GDPR rules.

      I have a website with user data and I’m perfectly GDPR compliant, just by having an email address available for contact and manually deleting their data if they ask for it.
