DJ Patil, Hilary Mason, and I have written about it , as have many others. It's rightfully part of every code of data ethics I've seen. But I have to admit misgivings—not so much about the need for consent, but about what it means.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) made its first real impact as Google’s record GDPR fine dominated news cycles. Historically, fines had peaked at six figures with the U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) fines of 500,000 pounds ($650,000 USD) against both Facebook and Equifax for their data protection breaches. Experts predicted an uptick in GDPR enforcement in 2019, and Google’s recent record GDPR fine has brought that to fruition.

Initially, I thought to myself, how could virtual reality actually make things seem more natural? The fact that it’s called VIRTUAL reality already implies that it’s something unreal and not connected to the natural, physical world.
