The new GDPR regulations, which will come into force across the EU on May 25, 2018, endeavor to introduce much more stringent rules on the processing and storage of personal data, as well as much stricter
regulations around consent.
«Regardless of whether we implement the exact same
regulation — I would guess it would be somewhat different because we have somewhat different sensibilities in the US, as do other countries — we're committed to rolling out the controls and the affirmative
consent, and the special controls
around sensitive types of technologies like face recognition that are required in GDPR, we're doing that
around the world,» he reiterated.
