I don't need a legislation to only have good parts in it, but I do want it to do more good than bad. GDPR does not do that. The harm it causes for internet businesses in the EU in the long term is going to be too much. It's already making EU companies less competitive[1] and it'll become worse as time goes on.

- StavrosK 8y agoYes, all regulation makes companies less competitive than unregulated companies. That's why you regulate everyone. Whats the harm of the GDPR?
- Mirioron 8y agoLess competitive companies means that we won't have these types companies in the EU. We are already doing very poorly when it comes to anything related to computer technology and this will make it even worse.
- StavrosK 8y agoThe GDPR is pretty sane and not very hard to comply with, unless you're being scummy. I'd rather not have scummy companies, even if that means we won't be competitive.
