    You’ve missed some news my friend, it’s an EU problem too, just the legal and privacy lawyers are fighting much harder so it keeps getting pushed away from going into law.

    I’ll try and find some links for you in a sec.

      of course it’s an eu problem too, but it was the uk that pushed through undercooked regulation that forced everyone to comply.
