Okay, heard the one about the unsolicted email from someone offering GDPR services?
I know. Funny, isn’t it?
Or an inbox full of emails asking you to re-sign-up to an email list?
There are changes looming with how people look after other people’s data. It’s causing a lot of people to look nervously for a golden bullet. There isn’t one, of course. You need to read some stuff on the subject youself rather than outsource it.
So, as a break from it all, here are some jokes captured from Twitter. Why a hashtag? To see if people would see the funny side of GDPR. They did. If you can’t laugh you’ll cry. The Erasure one is my favourite. How about you? I promise not to share.
Why are 80’s fans excited for GDPR?
Because it brings us the right to Erasure. 😂 #respect #gdprjokes pic.twitter.com/oqHTD2Ehjg— Kim Graakjaer (@kimmygraa) April 23, 2018

Why did the chicken cross the road?
That is none of your business. Data tracking is not allowed under any circumstances and the chicken has not given prior physical consent to being contacted. So you'll have no way of knowing if said chicken reached the other side.#GDPRjokes

Knock knock.
Who's there? I'm asking as I need to ascertain who is attempting to gain entry to my joke. I won't use your name for any other purpose and you can ask me to forget (perhaps hit me with a stick) at any time. #gdprjokes— Steph Gray (@lesteph) April 23, 2018
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walked into a council office – to complain that they’d been identified by reference to their nationality as a result of a data breach revealing special category data #gdprjokes

Q: What do you call a man with a car on his head?
A: Jack. But only if Jack has given consent for his personal data to be shared.#gdprjokes #GDPR— Dan Slee (@danslee) April 23, 2018
