To be honest, you don't really hear about this stuff until it starts appearing in the media, especially if you're a smaller company and you don't end up reading the right sources. Though you'd think media companies would be slightly more informed of it just by chance if not otherwise.
The GDPR made Valve publicly release their game data in TF2/CSGO/Dota 2, they still keep track of what you did in TF2's War update from 2009.
I think if you're big enough to have business in foreign countries you've probably heard of GDPR.
Though I'm sure there are exceptions.
Not surprised this is about Tronc, pretty much everyone hates them especially the good journalists employed at papers unfortunate enough to be owned by them. They've been involved in a lot of sleazy stuff lately, their chairman resigned over sexual misconduct in March and they tried unsuccessfully to stop their staff from unionising.
What you're forgetting is that media, especially smaller media, are really hurting economically right now, and it may just not have been financially viable for them to adapt to the changes, as sad as that is. I fear that we're witnessing the last vestiges of investigative journalism sometimes.
I saw the John Oliver bit on Tronc, and it does indeed look ridiculous.
The required changes are next to nothing. As long as you're not tracking users up the ass and are not frivolously collecting PII and being a general cunt.
Companies that whine about the GDPR need to have a long hard look at their business model.
If you work in this business it's literally your job to know.
GDRP is nothing but pure good. Anybody who is not willing to comply should go fuck themselves.
I was quite satisfied with the way Valve went about complying with GDPR.
please be Buzzfeed
I know a very underhanded advertising/clickbait company that's seen 70% falloff in clicks since GDRP went in to effect.
Or they simply don't want to? I don't think the European market is a big audience for the LA Times and Chicago Tribune
