I'm not sure what it is you are arguing about. I am in 100% agreement that regulation is necessary for a functioning society. However, the natural result of introducing new regulation is that some businesses will choose to leave the market. This is the cost of doing business. If a society can bear the loss of the business from the market, then things are good. That's about all there is to it.
> Another way of looking at it is that it levels the playing field between those that ride roughshot over their users rights and those that try to be nice.
Neither of those viewpoints are in opposition. You can both believe that more regulation kills some businesses through a 'death by a thousand cuts' and that these regulations level the playing field.
- jacquesm 8y agoI'm sure such businesses exist. But this isn't one of them, the article writer is leaving his EU users for reasons all his own, as in: he made them up.
- tathougies 8y agoPeople are allowed to make up their own opinions, even ones not based in fact, and take actions on things they own regarding them. That is a fundamental human right, last time I checked.
- sgift 8y agoAs is calling them out for it (e.g. if they are not based in fact), which is all jacquesm does. That's also a "fundamental human right"
- tathougies 8y agoPlease don't misinterpret my comments as telling jacquesm to keep quiet. It's a fundamental right to make a fool of yourself. Please continue!
