It is harder for small teams (or even single persons) running small forums to comply with different regulations than it is for a big company. There was a story recently about a guy who was running some specialized forum but decided to shut it down after he started receiving GDPR requests.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoDo you actually think it would be an unreasonable burden on a small business to have to remove a dead person from a marketing database when requested to by their family?
- drusepth 7y agoIt becomes an unreasonable burden when you have dozens or hundreds of small burdens/regulations that aren't unreasonable on their own, but collectively steal a significant amount of time from small businesses trying to balance developing something new and growing with complying with every little regulation they may or may not even know about.
- inflatableDodo 7y agoHaving to remove a dead person from a marketing database when requested to by their family is never an unreasonable burden, it is somewhat shameful that there is even a need to remind people of that. Following regulations requiring this should not require any extra effort because it is something you should already be doing.
- drusepth 7y agoWhile I agree with you, the argument is that adding regulations over hundreds of "little things you should already be doing" is the kind of regulation that hurts small businesses / sole developers that want to focus on developing and growing new products.
