New comment by starik36 in "GDPR After One Year"

That's not what he said.

He stated that people contact the company via many different methods: email, twitter, Instagram, etc... GDPR mandates that when the user demands it the company must delete all associated records. This small company doesn't have the resources (or doesn't want to waste time) to go through all emails, all twitter exchanges, etc... and expunge them all every time someone demands it.

As far as WordPress plugins go - I get that too. The place where I work has 100s of 3rd party packages. To go through them all would require Y2K level of effort to make sure they comply and/or upgrade ones that don't.

So I am not at all surprised that Brent Ozar didn't think EU was worth the effort.
