"Principle #4: We must also protect small businesses and innovation. We know that in Europe, investments in startups are down more than 40% since their data protection and privacy law—the General Data Protection Regulation—went into effect. We must guard against a similar situation here. We want small businesses hiring coders and engineers, not lawyers."

- vineyardmike 5y agoI don't think there are "ignore this law" style exemptions, but my understanding was that some policies were looser if you're small. Not in EU, not a lawyer, so i could be wrong.
- 0xcde4c3db 5y agoPlenty of American companies, including small businesses, have already overhauled their systems and business processes to comply with GDPR. It's not the Ghost of Tech Future that some politicians apparently think it is.
