GDPR’s first anniversary: a year of progress in privacy protection

May 28, 2019
Microsoft

Since GDPR went into effect, on May 25th 2018, more than 18 million people from around the world have used Microsoft's tool to manage their personal information. The highest level of engagement, both on a per capita basis and in absolute numbers, continues to come from the United States where about 6.7 million people have used the dashboard. Not surprisingly, residents of European countries covered under GDPR also account for a significant percentage of people who have visited the privacy dashboard—to date more than 4 million of our customers in the EU have logged on to manage their data.

The Bland Bombshell and the Big Banks

Is there anyone more bland, more powerful, and less recognizable than Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell? He makes money moves more than Cardi B, and yet most people wouldn’t recognize him if he were sitting on their lap in the subway. Why do relatively obscure banker meetings matter? Fair question. It's precisely why our GZERO team in Washington is covering the IMF-World Bank spring meetings this week.

The former president's first criminal trial got underway this week in New York, with the spectacle of a painfully slow jury selection process as both sides try to find mutually acceptable, “unbiased” jurors. It was two steps forward, two steps back today as two of the seven jurors sworn in earlier this week were excused from proceedings.
