You don't know my company and you've ascribed practices to my company that we don't practice to create a straw man. Please don't do this. We're working, willingly and early, with an independent auditor we hired. As for the German cloud, no AWS Outpost or anything else we (and AWS' legal team) pitched was enough. > The only real downside of GDPR is that it's not enforced as rigidly as required, and nowhere on the required scale. Whose actual fault is this? The EU pushed through a ruling without teeth. It's a lose-lose for everyone from business all the way down to the person assaulted by these cookie notices. > So, your poor technical decisions have lead you to suffer increased costs, and you blame that on laws. Keep it up, it's a good way to stay in business. This is just rude, please don't. > If it's "immense" for you, this only means that you were already siphoning user data you didn't need and did nothing to protect it. Why are you continuing to state things as fact you don't have a clue of? This is completely false.

> You don't know my company and you've ascribed practices to my company that we don't practice to create a straw man. You've asked if I worked at small-to-medium company in the EU. I told you I did. My experiences are significantly different from yours. This only tells me that there's definitely something wrong you're doing, and blaming it on the law. Since you're not giving any details, it's pure speculation at this point. > Whose actual fault is this? I think no one could even predict the scale of the issue. No one could imagine that: - even well-to-do commercial companies would include literally hundreds of trackers on their web pages - almost literally everyone would decide to break the law instead of, you know, stopping wholesale data consumption The ad industry played a nice trick: now everyone believes the EU with its GDPR is the bad guy, and not the motherf@ers who siphon your data to 500 advertisers on every page. As for the teeth, GDPR can fine you for a significant chunk of your global turnover. So yes, it has teeth. > Why are you continuing to state things as fact you don't have a clue of? Are you the only one allowed to state things?
