"Negative effects on technology" according to who, by what metric, and what technologies would be stunted exactly?
GDPR isn't going to slow down research projects into new approaches to OS design, or physical hardware development. No one is stopping their generalized AI thesis work over customer data laws.
The entire media coverage of GPDR and to an extent Brexit, seems like big business throwing a tantrum akin to a spoiled child. Flinging themselves on their bed crying that their entire life is over because they can't stay out past midnight.
All these reports are investment graphs and earnings reports. Slight to moderate downturns at a time of record highs in the market. Thinly veiled blackmail and ultimatums by those that have against those that have-not. "Let us do whatever we want or it would be a shame is something happened to your 401k.(or your research grant for that matter)"
- Thiez 8y agoPlease don't twist my words. I said "negative effects on technology venture investment", quoting the article. I do not oppose the GDPR.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> by what metric From the abstract: "in the overall dollar amounts raised across funding deals, the number of deals, and the dollar amount raised per individual deal" by "EU ventures, relative to their US counterparts." I would love to see this analysis re-run with a separation maintained between adtech and non-adtech companies. The effect on the former is expected and, to a degree, desired. The effect on the latter deserves scrutiny. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3278912 https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3278912
