   @Linza I’ve got the start of a bill here if anyone at @EUCommission wants to table it (I won’t hold my breath, shall I?)

     @dzwiedziu @Linza @EUCommission Nope.

     It has to be stated unequivocally and be a showstopper in order to be useful. Also, even if it existed in law in such a manner, it would have to be enforced. And Ireland – aka Silicon Valley’s bitch – won’t be enforcing GDPR, much less something like data minimisation, anytime soon.

     @aral
     Isn't it already in article 5(1)(c) of the #GDPR?

     @clickhere @dzwiedziu @Linza @EUCommission Ah, thank goodness. So happy to know that any tech that doesn’t implement data minimisation is now illegal in the EU like it would be under GDMR-style regulation.

     *phew!*
