And HN comments haven't trended neutral to critical on GDPR?

  Not in my experience. Most comments I've seen laud it for providing protections for user privacy.

  You see what you want to see. FWIW I think there have been more positive comments than negative.

  To expand on the other user, most of the negative gdpr commentary I've seen here has been that it either doesn't do enough, is confusing or vague, or will further entrench the big guys. None of those are particularly "we shouldn't regulate the big guys", but more of a "I have specific issues with this regulation". I expect that there would be some similar sentiment if we were discussing a specific piece of isp regulating legislation.

    I was kind of surprised. My impression was that there was usually at least one highly voted comment stating (essentially), "Any regulation will harm startups, so there should be no regulation." Admittedly, there are other, pro viewpoints expressed, but my takeaway is that there's a sizable libertarian contingent which would rather absolutely have freedom in action than freedom in opportunity. Which seems... short-sighted.

  I don't know, have they? You're asking questions like you're writing headlines for a clickbait rag.
