> People aren't hurt by less data-selling
You're doing the intent thing where you are saying what you think is the case or the intent instead of the reality. People are hurt by the money they spend applying reasonable compliance risk avoidance measures when new laws come out. People running companies, employees of those companies, customers of those companies, and society as a whole. Maybe you feel the harm is worth it, but please stop pretending it doesn't exist.
And it didn't come out of nowhere, data protection laws had existed before, didn't work before, so they doubled down on the already-failed legislative approach with the same not-working institutions instead of taking more practical or incremental approaches.
- Tomte 8y agoI'm a strong believer in the primacy of politics over companies. So if society decides to solve a problem, "it costs some money" is simply no argument against it. Companies are free to operate in some failed state if they wish not to contribute to society.
