I wonder how many things are changing what they do or even not starting
something new because of GDPR.
there is a dude in Virginia (US), telling me he
can put emails
and confidential data (address, phone, etc) in public without any
authorization from the owner.
Anybody can do anything they are capable of doing. The fact that they
can do it does NOT make it legal to do. Murder is not legal, yet it
still happens all over the world.
I don't know if he is legally allowed do it,
but 5 months have already
passed without a fine for him ... whereas if you do it in Switzerland
or in Italy, you immediately get a legal threat, and/or a fine
Sounds like he is getting lucky. Or nobody is motivated to stop him yet.
