Comment (by netweb):

 I just bumped into the following, this is the first time I've read
 anything about the EU's GDPR:

 >
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Data_portability
 > > The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU)
 2016/679) is a Regulation by which the European Commission intends to
 strengthen and unify data protection for individuals within the European
 Union (EU). It also addresses export of personal data outside the EU. The
 Commission's primary objectives of the GDPR are to give citizens back the
 control of their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment
 for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
 > >
 > > The regulation was adopted on 27 April 2016. It enters into
 application 25 May 2018.

 >
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation#Data_portability
 > > A person shall be able to transfer their personal data from one
 electronic processing system to and into another, without being prevented
 from doing so by the data controller.

 > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_portability#European_Union
 > > Data portability has become a new right in the European Union's
 General Data Protection Regulation GDPR passed in April 2016. The
 Regulation will apply to data processors in countries outside the EU as
 well under certain circumstances. ''"Controllers must make the data
 available in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable and
 interoperable format that allows the individual to transfer the data to
 another controller."'' Earlier the European Data Protection Supervisor had
 stated that data portability could ''"let individuals benefit from the
 value created by the use of their personal data"''.
