Huge centralized data collections are a main threat to privacy. They can be abused by large corporations, hackers that breach firewalls and secret services. Blockchain omits centrally controlled data collections and can provide better privacy protection in some cases. At the same time Blockchain means immutability and lack of central control. Data protection however, includes the right to be forgotten, requires regular deletion and assigns responsibilities to controlers of data processing. Is privacy regulation like GDPR an obstacle to the use of privacy enhancing peer-to-peer technology like blockchains? Can blockchains be GDPR-compliant? What are best practices?
