- paulddraper 8y agoThe argument for this point of view is that regulations like GDPR (or other things like corporate taxes) are easier for companies with gobs of capital and armies of lawyers/accounts to accommodate than companies lacking those resources. A tall person may not appreciate flood waters, but a short person appreciates them even less.
