GDPR seems straight up common sense to me, but ...

At times it seems like the common sense behind the GDPR is not -in fact- entirely common to American (lawyers) somehow.

That can't be entirely true though, since some US states seem to have been considering similar laws recently.

Color me confused by it all. (see also an earlier comment I made in a similar conversation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29126413 )
