Any insight from HN insiders on how seriously companies big and small are taking this?
In my experience, the buzz around this is much more serious compared to previous efforts, "the cookie law" for example, though I have no idea on the actual impact.
In our company, we've decided to implement the necessary changes, because a lot of them just make sense (be clear with the user on tracking, don't store personal data you don't need...). It could turn out to be a competitive advantage, but only if the rules really are enforced.
Otherwise it will be the same as the cookie law, the companies following it had a shittier user experience, and the ones that didn't were never penalized (the cookie law was absurdly bad legislation in my opinion to be clear).
So any insight from the HN crowd would be much appreciated!
