On one hand, FUCKYEAH for data privacy rights. Can’t wait to pull my shit out of databases I don’t want to be in.

On the other hand, as a software developer that’s gonna have to implement the data removal functions on my company’s databases… goddammit. I’m already up to my eyeballs and it’s gonna be a bitch and a half.

But all in all, fuck yeah.
