This GDPR playlist on Spotify is comedy brilliance!

Well that's depressing... https://t.co/S6GoMb39rR

Happy GDPR day to you all!

@sallyschu @TMWData Lunch = same as dinner, a mid-day meal. Did you know that what we called "dinnerladies" at school are now called "lunchtime assistants"? So maybe the use of dinner for a mid-day meal will die out after all!

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

@Brunners85 I think this my favourite so far... #GDPR

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

@TMWData My POV as a northerner (UK):
Dinner = mid-day meal OR what you go out to a restaurant to eat
Tea = evening meal eaten at home
Supper = what posh people eat OR a glass of milk and a piece of toast (or similar) before bed

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

Definitely today’s mood! #GDPR https://t.co/SPfc184KFb

Oh my! This is something to bring a smile to those of us working madly to prepare for #GDPR - at least we haven't done this => https://t.co/Q8AMc34fx3

My new fave thing is spotting mistakes in privacy policies. The @Space_NK one still has someone's notes in it 😂 particular fave is 'do we do this?' #gdpr

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

Now that the brilliant @mollymath has galvanised a whole new set of #grimgraph hunters, I'm looking forward to seeing more truly horrible examples shared on here. Here's a cracker to get things started!

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

@mollymath @paulrouke And I’m loving that the 14ft cat still lives on! That’s one of my favourite examples ever and I still use it in my #dataviz training

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

GDPR-tastic! https://t.co/O5ScOqfqXd

[dan barker @danbarker]

Honestly, just let me know if you're *not* updating your Privacy Policy.

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

Wow. Am especially loving the instruction "Don't say we already do what GDPR requires"! https://t.co/Rkw4n5Ehg6

Also, £1.79 is 82.9% cheaper than £10.45 so we’re looking at a rounding error here too. Triple fail! #mathsfail

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

Bar graphs are hard to get wrong, unless you make them 3D of course. But somehow @degiroeu have made a hideous #grimgraph out of this one. And it undervalues the point they’re making too - double fail! (Thanks to @albertoapardo for sharing)

[Dylan Curran @iamdylancurran]

Want to freak yourself out? I'm gonna show just how much of your information the likes of Facebook and Google store about you without you even realising it

[Anna Foster @Data_Anna]

A lovely illustration of how truncating lines on a chart can mislead, and in turn lead our brains to underestimate a serious issue #grimgraph https://t.co/mL6t5yQYIJ

I’m a few days late in sharing this, but here’s a brilliant #grimgraph (if that’s not an oxymoron) for all Remainers to enjoy! Thanks for the share @notabbott - I absolutely LOVE this use of the dreaded pie chart => https://t.co/VHxaY5mMCk

@notabbott I missed this in all the IWD noise - but it’s amazing! Thank you for sharing 😊

@TMWData @sallyschu @Ausriuke @mollymath @CatherineShaw15 @sophclutterham @t30d0ra Don’t forget @Yuliya_PFF and @isobelfreeman too - they pre-date the twitter account but are still awesome past TMW #datawomen! 💪🏻
