This is refreshing, I wish GDPR had a revenue threshold like this.

Navigating policy for small businesses can be toxic as they don't have teams of high powered lawyers, and considering California's startup industry the last thing policymakers want is to hurt small businesses. This is a compromise.

I worry that regulations like GDPR benefit the existing monopolies, and make it too difficult/expensive for startups. The legal ambiguity of it, and the additional software requirements add a lot of roadblocks if you're a small company. I'd rather the burden be limited to established companies (but I guess that isn't quite fair either). And for small/side projects, I just don't want to worry about this stuff.
