It seems that since the gpdr requires deletion of data upon user request, companies will not be able to send recall notices when, say, a medical device starts killing customers.

The simple answer to that is that the advertisers pay you to show ads to EU users because they want to get money from EU users; so these advertisers are/have to be GDPR compliant, especially if they're using user information to target ads, and they'll have to be sure that this user information is legal for them to use. The advertising networks are clearly doing business in EU as they're getting paid by these advertis…
> advertisers pay you to show ads to EU users because they want to get money from EU users; so these advertisers are/have to be GDPR compliant This is the part I'm not sure is true. Sure, if the ad agency's company motto is "delivering ads to EU users since XXXX", they obviously have to be compliant, but what if they are a US-based ad agency and none of the companies selling them ad space are in the EU? How many laye…
Almost every ad I see is from some company that is actually eager to sell stuff to me, so they're doing business in EU, and have to be compliant.
All advertisers who care about me won't be allowed to buy my data from US-based ad agencies, so even if such US-based agencies can gather the data, it's worthless, since noone would buy that.
Does anyone know of US companies implementing GDPR compliance?
It has taken up a majority of the last year.
Every complaint about it shows that you don't respect others and you dont care about them. And this is the reason it became legislation.

The same should be true for most software companies going forward. The approach to just assume it's the obligation of the user to ensure compliance won't work for much longer.
Imagine the EU made a law requiring every country in the world follow their building codes whenever an EU citizen enters one of their buildings, even if the building was made before the law was created. And if you don't comply, they will fine you millions of dollars. McDonalds goes and retrofits all of their buildings in the world because they have shops in the EU at great cost. Some pizza shop that does delivery in…
You are reaching. I give you a better example: it does not matter where a building part is being produced, if it ends up in a building in Europe it needs to be up to the local building codes and to the regulations of the single market.

For example:
> The first half is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which becomes enforceable across Europe on 25 May 2018. This is an overhaul, modernization, and replacement of the existing framework, the Data Protection Directive of 1995 (yes, 1995.)
> All of the existing principles from the original Directive stay with us under GDPR. What GDPR adds is new definitions and requirements to reflect changes in technology which simply did not exist in the dialup era. It also tightens up requirements for transparency, disclosure, and process: lessons learned from 23 years of experience.
It's talking about the new definitions and requirements, but says nothing about what they are!
"The extraterritorial nature of these two frameworks..." I've noticed that this is something the EU has tried to do lately, to just sort of push their regulations on the rest of the world. I don't see what sort of authority they'd have to impose this on citizens of other countries. I wonder if Europe pushes the issue, if this will be treated like libel tourism, where US citizens and companies without a Eurpoean nexus…

I suspect it will be the norm. For any greenfield development, why would we develop it twice? We have to solve every business problem we have for the EU; why would we solve it differently, to address the same problems, elsewhere? For non-greenfield development, why would we keep two codebases and sets of infrastructure around that we have to support? Better to consolidate. Especially given the positive word of mouth…
And remember that GDPR applies to EU citizens outside the EU too, so you’d need to confirm with the user upfront that they aren’t an EU citizen before capturing the information.
I really don't think (and I am developer, I will need to comply) that anything in GDPR is hard to understand. Treat data from others in same way as you would treat (and you are treating) yours. You are not selling your personal details to 3rd parties, you are not keeping painfull pictures of yourself climbing to garbage bin and doing diving completely drunk, you are not storing them into pastebin or unsecured databas…
