Re: Firms play Data Protection roulette

[Chris Walsh <cwalsh () cwalsh org>]

Among the european nationals I've spoken to on this, it seems to be  
universally believed that the ability of firms to comply with the  
privacy directive (eg., by telling them what personal info is kept,  
where) borders on nil.  Maybe I just hang with a cynical crowd.

In my (limited) experience, the privacy directive is good for at  
least one thing -- it keeps firms from collecting certain information  
in the first place.
