The UK legislators want to replace GDPR with a watered down version that only applies to the UK. Their claim is that this will allow businesses to save money on compliance. (Me: Companies in Brazil, Australia and the US comply with GDPR, so realistically British companies will have to abide to both regulations and so costs can only increase) Furthermore the British government is planning to force all websites to verify their visitors’ age (allegedly using government approved providers), which is orders of magnitudes more onerous than GDPR (me: which is actually almost free unless you abuse your users’ data).
