Leonard Cheong, Managing Director, AdNovum Singapore via Enterprise Innovation; Embracing the privacy-first mindset in the post-GDPR world
"Privacy is a fundamental human right.
This is the proclamation
that Apple made when updating their App Store policies to ensure that
application developers can’t access consumer data without consent, in a
bid to demonstrate their commitment to data privacy.
As the world
becomes more digital, privacy has indeed become more sought after and
consumers today are only willing to share data with companies they
trust. On 25 May 2018 the European Union’s General Data Protection
Regulation or EU-GDPR came into effect, sparking numerous conversations
on privacy, ethics and compliance."

The 7 stages of GDPR grief; VentureBeat, April 29, 2018
Chris Purcell, VentureBeat; The 7 stages of GDPR grief
"All of the systems we’ve built around handling personal data will need to be re-engineered to handle the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) rules that go into effect that day. That’s a lot to accomplish, with very little time left.
While the eve of the GDPR deadline may not start parties like we had back on New Year’s Eve 1999 — when people counted down to “the end of the world” — stakeholders in organizations across the globe will be experiencing a range of emotions as they make their way through the seven stages of GDPR grief at varying speeds.
Like Y2K, May 25 could come and go without repercussion if people work behind the scenes to make their organizations compliant. Unfortunately, most companies are in the earliest stage of grief – denial – believing that GDPR does not apply to them (if they even know what it is). Denial rarely serves companies well. And in the case of GDPR non-compliance, it could cost them fines of up to 20 million euros ($24 million) or four percent of global annual turnover, whichever value is greater.
Luckily, there are sure-tell signs for each grief stage and advice to help individuals and their employers move through each (and fast):..."

Can Europe Lead on Privacy?; The New York Times, April 1, 2018
Tom Wheeler, The New York Times; Can Europe Lead on Privacy?
"The United States government has a lot of explaining to do. Why is it that American internet companies such as Facebook and Google are required to provide privacy protections when doing business with European consumers but are free to not provide such protections for Americans? Why is it that Americans’ best privacy hope is the secondary effect of interconnected networks rather than privacy protections designed for Americans? Why shouldn’t Americans also be given meaningful tools to protect their privacy?"
