Comment (by DavidAnderson):

 The key issue with GDPR as I understand it is explicit and informed
 consent: that data processing can only legally carried out for the
 purposes for which that explicit/informed consent was given. Under the
 GDPR, people don't consent to give their data.... they consent to give
 their data for explicitly defined purposes, and use of that data for
 another purpose is, in the general case, unlawful.
