[Chapter-delegates] URGENT - Question about Facebook and GDPR in your respective country

[borka at e5.ijs.si]

In Slovenia is the same as Brandt has written.. GDPR is in phase to be 
adopted and companies are 
aware that they should follow the rules. Facebook has also contacted the 
users asking them about the new type of service offering that will 
consider their privacy.

Regards,

Borka
