Well, the problem is that to be consistent (and safe), you'd have to do a similar training for every possible offense. GDPR is top-of-mind for HN readers, but any large company is likely constantly violating at least dozens, if not hundreds or thousands of regulations. Ask any corporate lawyer how you could avoid violating any regulation or law, and they will just give you a blank stare, or tell you it's impossible.

- nickff 6y agoI suppose you're right that companies should weigh their efforts in favor of complying with laws that bureaucrats are personally invested in. That said, I see this as a rather sad state of affairs.
