> The context of this conversation seems to have more to do with code and complexity than legal necessities but point taken The laws introduce lots of complexity, which leads to lots of requirements in the code. So this is no contradiction. > It just happens that people add unnecessary complexity to their projects nowadays because 1) they use frameworks and tools that facilitate it and 2) it looks better on their resumes. And 3) because the law requires such complications (in my personal perspective the largest problem that causes the most headaches). Just to give another, "more EU/less German" example: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_and_Electronic_Communications_Directive_2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_and_Electronic_Communi... which requires that the user has to explicitly opt-in before a cookie is set. This of course has to be coded - otherwise risk being sued.
