With only a couple of dates to go until GDPR comes into force, companies are scrambling to comply. However some are doing terrible jobs! Feel free to submit your own stories! On Twitter https://twitter.com/ow, or emailing gdpr@owened.co.nz
No reviews yetBe the first to leave a review for GDPR Hall of Shame
I wonder if GDPR opens a path for more Euro regulations on businesses in the future? Fortunately, from what I understand, Europe is not too big on regulations.

Would never use Razer mouses anymore. Why would A MOUSE need to know any of my personal date to work?
Pros:
Mocks companies which don‘t care about me. Also, it’s funny.
@ow Google Analytics can’t be used for website analytics anymore if one wants to be GDPR compliant?

@owenandrews_ No it's not, it shares data with FOUR different parties: Twitter, Cloudflare, Google Fonts, Google Tag Manager (analytics) and doesn't have a Privacy Policy. 👎
@owenandrews_@ow i'll have a solution for gdpr approved stats tracking.... soon.

Wow, so much hate here. It's a Wall of Shame, it offends by design. Look elsewhere for participation trophies for the rest of the world.
Every case here is an example of how not to handle GDPR gracefully, with the possible exception of Oath, who receives scrutiny only for the ridiculous breadth of their data sharing.

@gerwitz I wonder if the European Union will first target to fine U.S. Companies or European Tech companies.
Report
@deysonortiz if everyone here is to be believed, there are no European tech companies so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Report
@gerwitz Really? There has to be some. But either way, it seems the first to get hit with lawsuits were American companies. I do find it hard to believe that all Euro Tech Companies are GDPR compliant.

so much pearl clutching in the comments over a little bit of public shaming of businesses that have had two years to prepare, or y'know could have just not been collecting a ton of user data to begin with...

It's clear that you don't really understand GDPR, and the complexity of it, when creating a site like this.

Pros:
People with no clue reviewing something they don't understand
GDPR is the largest attack on the free internet since SOPA. It places huge liability onto small businesses and entities, with arbitrary consequences, regardless of location. GDPR divides our internet and our society, while we're literally laughing our free and open internet away.
Pros:
none
Cons:
If there is anything to shame, it's the bill itself.
