GDPR: Paving the way to Privacy Legislation in the US
There is no denying that GDPR is driving data privacy conversations across the world. When Scott McNealy, then the CEO of Sun Microsystems, called consumer privacy a “red herring” in 1999 when he famously said “you have zero privacy anyway, get over it,” I’m not sure he could have pictured the post GDPR landscape as it stands today.
