 positive aspects -- how a transparent privacy policy can help to build
 trust with users, and make them feel safe and informed -- rather than the
 negative -- what legal obligations the site owner may have.

 And here's the pickle - this is for all practical purposes the first time
 that site owners have actual legal obligations when they throw a site up
 on the Internet. We shouldn't soft pedal that. The warning doesn't have to
 be stern, but imho it should be a clear warning to take their
 responsibilities as a site owner seriously. With GDPR, fun time now also
 comes with responsibility.
