Many of the comments here are rebutting - saying that a DPO isn't needed or that this guy gave up unnecessarily. But the fact that he had to spend who knows how much of his time to even discover whether he needs to do anything (or what sort of trouble he could get into) is too much of a barrier for many people and their hobby side projects. This is unfortunate and not surprising collateral damage of the GDPR.
- GordonS 8y agoI'm a small businesses owner. When I first found out about the GDPR, this was exactly my view, and I even posted on HN to that effect. Then I actually spent a little time to find out more and, as someone who cares about privacy, quickly realised the positive intent behind it, and how simple it is to comply with in principle: let users know what data you collect and what you do with it, and give them the possibility to request it or request it's deleted. TBH, if someone requested any of this, I'd do it without the GDPR.
