Facebook’s changes to comply with the European privacy law, the GDPR, go about “one-tenth of the way toward restoring public trust,” says EFF Senior Staff Attorney Nate Cardozo https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/05/24/new-privacy-rules-could-spell-the-end-of-legalese-or-create-a-lot-more-fine-print/?utm_term=.0ce7d4b353aa
