🔥 🤓 GDPR Will GIVE YOU POWER Over Tech Giants.

A documentary short on #GDPR, the #EU's new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You've no doubt seen GDPR popping up a lot recently. I've sure had my fair share of emails regarding GDPR, and I've you ever signed up anything, you no doubt have too.

Check your emails and search for "GDPR" after this video and see how many you've gotten. I counted 57 different GDPR privacy policy updates in my inbox.

You'll find comfort in knowing that you're not the only one who's seen these notifications.
