This is episode 244 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast.
If "privacy policy bingo" was a real game, everyone on the internet would have won this month. Google, Twitter, Uber, the Tooth Fairy, and everyone else made changes recently because of the European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Data protection is certainly important, but it's highly likely that the EU went way too far with this one. We'll share some laughs and some tears as we go over some GDPR basics.
But this regulation might impact more than just social media giants and online services. Blockchains store a ton of data too. Does that mean they're somehow subject to these new rules?
We'll find out tonight. Check the list below for some links and catch the livestream at 9PM Eastern!
