Blaming GDPR for everything is another stupid trend I detest. I’ve inplemented a lot of stuff related to it and it’s definitely not what it gets pictured as.
At the end of the day it speaks more of the zeitgeist among Quartz’s “high-earning readers”.

Every law that remotely hinders the purist form of the free market is detested in Anglo media is seems. People have no problem hailing Amazon as a tech wonder and celebrate Bezos as the richest man alive. But how about minimum wage and proper working conditions in their warehouses? 'ah should get a better job then'. They are 'at will' employed. Just because a law restricts business doesn't mean it's bad.

From what I noticed, it's mostly coming from the U.S. where every piece of regulation is seen as "government impending businesses that create jobs", including regulation against polluting etc. I am not sure how actual citizens feel, I suspect not as strongly against deregulation as the press make it seem, but they're definitely a lot more against it than in the EU.
