   Lemon can't talk his way out of what he behaved himself   
   into.   
      
   The blame game doesn't work, since the webhost is in no   
   way responsible for the PII gathetered and processed by   
   lemon, nor the protection thereof. Lemon knows that   
   there are more secure solutions available to store and   
   process PII. Yet, he chose not to move to more secure   
   solutions. But, seriously, using a shared webhosting   
   service to store PII does not favour Lemon and would even   
   even argue that he is at fault. The GDPR is very clear   
   about the measures one should take for the protection   
   of PII.   
      
   I'm sure that lemon is taking care of all this together   
   with the Swedish data protection agency, external   
   security auditors and his laywers.
