@AdvocateDVB His general view was to not sweat on GDPR because a fine was unlikely and the ICO wouldn't do much.

Just watched a panel discussion on GDPR at Big Data London that was impressive for not having a single panel member who understands GDPR.

@tim2040 @AdvocateDVB Oh yes

@AdvocateDVB The legal expert said something vague along the lines of it not being the sort of information that the right of access was meant to relate to.

@tim2040 Davis was the most awful. Askham said from the start that she wasn't a GDPR expert so in that context she was ok.

Twitter don't have to comply with GDPR because they don't have an EU presence. (They have a European HQ in Dublin).

‘Owning’ data is like ‘owning’ a dog. You get to name it, train it to do things and to decide who gets to play with it. You’re responsible for looking after it and blamed if it bites someone. But once it’s off the leash you’ll find that ownership isn’t the same thing as control.

@vmcntosh Haha. Maybe so.

[disclosures blog @DisclosuresB]

@bazmoult Sadly not.
