You've got it wrong. Did you actually read the law?
1. Mom and Pop shops do not need a DPO, that's requested only for businesses with a staff of at least 10 persons. And that DPO does not have to be full-time. Quoting the name of the owner is enough. 2. IP-addresses are private data only when tied to a name. A simple line in a logfile with an ip-address does not constitute private data. 3. Usually you don't keep backups forever, but only for the last week or so. Also data may and should be preserved for a limitation period. So that's a non-issue. 4. You know if your have the server in your house, or if your hoster is in the EU. And if you don't know, you could ask, where the data is physically stored. 5. I don't see a violation, if I (european) visit a foreign webpage, and that visit gets recorded in the relative logfiles. When I go to a foreign country, I have to respect their laws - the same I have to drive on the left, when I wanna drive a car in GB, Australia or SouthAfrica. If you (US-american) come to Europe, you have to play to EU-rules.
You're so wrong in so many ways: - the new privacy law is nothing more than a harmonisation of different existing laws already in effect since 1996 and subsecutive modifications (the european guideline law was from 24. october 1995) - in 1995 there was no Google, facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp. - till today the european laws were applicable only to european individuals and companies - you cannot compete, if your competitor does not respect the same rules - the big data collectors are all outside the EU, so they had to be included too in this new law, as soon as they do business with EU-citizens
Let's talk about the effects of this new law in a few years - I'm sure he US will follow too.
... and then people wonder why the EU passes a law to protect our privacy. It is high time that this habit to gather private data of those big companies gets tightly restricted. I'm sure, other countries around the world will follow.
Beware! Whenever a company claims "we take privacy very seriously", you should run! That company will do whatever possible to collect as much private data as possible about you to control and abuse you for its own purposes.

When have you been last time in Venice? Since 1997 it's fobidden to feed the pdgeons in most parts of venice and since 2008 in the whole city, even on Piazza San Marco. Nobody will sell you feed for 'em!
Me too... In Venice it's forbidden to feed pigeons, as they shit everywhere and their excrements corrode the historical buildings. While scooters (called vespas in Italy) are nowhere to be found, as they aren't watertight - you use gondolas to travel around.
Do you also drink wine, beer and an espresso with a straw?!? Using a straw should be the exception, not normality.... but in the USA people start lawsuits for every fart.:-(
I don't know how you drink. When I drink from a glass, the fluid hardly touches the lips (which vover the choppers, and then the tongue. I don't expose the choppers - and even when, it's only for a second. My teeth are in best health. That's a non-issue and a bad reason to pollute our world with plastic-trash.
Which percentage of the population has Parkinson's Desease or any of the other problems you mention?!? Those should ask for the straws and get them for free. But for 99% of the users it's only unnecessary trash which gets added to a simple meal or drink. Stupid idea.
In my country we say: a dog is trying to bite its tail. In this case Julian escaped an extradition to Sweden for a crime in Sweden which was not committed. So the order for extradition shoudn't exist anymore, as the basis for it has volatized.

?!? Did you actually read the law you're commenting about?
You're posting as AC, as you know you're writing bullshit?
I suggest this read for some enlightenment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I posted that to another story...

Psst - I still call 'em vespas. ;-)
BTW: here in Italy we use windows to also look inside, and open them for fresh air or to walk off when the husband comes...
"vespa" means wasp. You can trademark the logo but not an insects name. :-)
Even pulling trolleys ist forbidden, as they make too much noise on the cobble stone pavement.
Me too...

On March 15th, the road got closed with a wall of concrete rubble. That was more than 2 days ago. Did the town collapse?
Do you also drink wine, beer and an espresso with a straw?!? :-(

cover, not vover - that was a typo - sorry!!!

Why wait till 2030? We should avoid trash now, immediately. There's no valid reason to postpone a sane decision.
Why use straws at all? I learned to drink from the glass without sucking on a straw.
Google for "Pyramidenkogel" and "Rubner Holzbau" - you will be astonished, what's possible with wood.
Wein?!? like wine? Are you drunk?
No, they weren't robbed. They gave their money/support voluntarily. I simply would want my money back.
