As a professional who deals, albeit not all of the time, in these privacy laws, I can safely say these people know not enough of what they speak. They make two mistakes. Firstly, that data acquisition and retention can take place if it is justifiable. And gathering identifiable information goes on right now, in Europe, to determine right to vote.
The second, fundamental one, is that these laws themseves, do not say what is right or wrong. They encompass principles to be adhered to, but in the legislation itself, recognise this is a journey, not a test to be graded. As long as you are doing things better, that is in your favour.
I need to get more vocal about this in fannish communities I think. There are many people who don't understand the nuance in the legislation.
