Here, data, private life, personal information are really protected. A new Regulation will become applicable in late mai 2018. It will replace the current one (started in 2001).
The new one reinforce the protection.

(2,064 posts)Ive read that a Russian oil company under sanctions paid 4.5 million to CA for data on people in Ohio, that the data was provided to Russian intelligence and that a Russian with ties to the Kremlin provided an app to scrape Facebook data.
I dont have links, but Im pretty sure the Russians havent destroyed Google yet.

"It will dramatically affect her ability to turn these people out," a campaign official told Businessweek.
