TODAY IS A momentous day in Ireland as finally we are set to become GDPR compliant. It means that all those privacy policy emails you’ve been receiving do actually mean something and that we’re set to have a little more control over the data companies have on us.
It’s a very serious thing that a lot of us are struggling to get to grips with. Here are some of the best tweets showing us why we really should read ALL the terms and conditions.
The emails have been coming thick and fast.

But it has made cleaning out our inboxes much easier.
This #GDPR is like a giant UNSUBSCRIBE button and I am here for it.

But where were the posters for it?
Why wasn't GDPR a referendum? The posters would have been brilliant

We still have some questions about it.
Do #GDPR regulations apply to sliding into DMs?
