In case you haven’t heard (or for some reason haven’t received thousands of emails about it in the last few weeks), this week sees the introduction of the GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation.
We know, we know – it all sounds scary and a bit confusing. Don’t worry, we’re not here to explain to you what the GDPR is or what you need to do about it – we will leave that to the experts. What we are here to do is to provide you with light relief in between all these frantic last minute opt-in emails that you’re undoubtedly slowly drowning in. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the funniest tweets out on the internet about the GDPR.
This tweet sums it up quite nicely

Would you like to opt-in to family dinner?
My mum is leaving it awfully close to the GDPR deadline to ask if I want to opt in to receive her emails, calls and texts.

Peak GDPR indeed
Peak GDPR – a car park ‘would like to keep in touch’. Not even a chain of car parks, but a single one I prebooked at about 5 yrs ago. I didn’t know it cared.
