    German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.

    Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!

    If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

    @r_alb I do find it easy to believe that businesspeople would be more happy if they could just profit from selling our data as they wish.
    Not a groundbreaking discovery.

      @r_alb Every time I hear these complaints, I feel there is a certain success.

        True! The study's conclusion should have been that we need new businesspeople.

            Unless politicians hear their screams and mistake them for a call to action. Whenever that happens, we're in trouble.

            Yes Digital Omnibus, I'm talking about you.

              @r_alb "businesses are unhappy with the GDPR"

              Good.

              (although if someone wanted to modify the GDPR just a little bit to stop every website from spamming me about cookies, that'd be okay)

                if German outlets weren't liars who hate humanity, they'd locate a study that found businesses are happy with the GDPR. Because it's both. Some happy, some unhappy. No reason to make a study on it, but it would be thumbing your nose at the slavery death cult, who wants their hands on your leash. Responsible businesspeople will be very happy at restrictions and regulations, because it means they don't have to compete with the jerks who violate them.

                Every small grocer should thank sweet heaven that there are regulations preventing Wal*Mart or Target from bankrupting them through strategic underpricing and bribing local authorities.

                (Notice how there aren't any small grocers anymore.)

                  @r_alb the GDPR is great - I mean it could be better enforced -

                  ..but so many work conversations where someone wants to collect and retain data without even having a clear reason ...

                  The GDPR gives those of us in the room who don't want it something solid to point to.

                  Compliance is lax but exists

                      @r_alb Actually one of the GDPR purpose is to enable a personal data market that respects rights. So it's not *only* about rights. It's also about making money from personal data.

                        @r_alb In other news, businesses are also unhappy with laws that
                        * Prohibit them from extracting labour outside work hours without overtime pay
                        * Force them to offer parental leave with pay
                        * Prohibit them from employing children

                        Won't somebody think of the poor innocent multinational enterprise whose plans are being thwarted by "onerous" and "burdensome" regulations?

                          As with everything else, whoever has the most lobbyists with the biggest lobbying budget will ultimately win out.
                          WHY have I NEVER seen an in-depth documentary on how the "#Lobbying"/Legal-#Corruption business really works?
                          With names and figures.

                            @r_alb echoes of "but if I have to pay minimum wage I'll go out of business!"

                            Ok. And?

                                    German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.

                                    Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!

                                    If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

                                    @r_alb I have implemented processes for staying GDPR compliant. It's really annoying and gets in the way of building other features. But in the end, most of it can be simplified by a few architectural design decisions. If you think about your users' rights from the beginning, most of the problems are easily resolved. If they are an afterthought, that's when things get ugly.
