> I wonder how many Billions or Trillions environmental protection costs companies.
> Pretty much every company has to fight with it. Hire lawyers, change machines, implement "dangerous waste disposal" etc.
> The craziest part is that environmental protection has a competitive disadvantage for companies built in: Companies have to demonstrate their pollution prevention even for users outside of the EU. While non-European companies only have to do so for users in the EU.
Analogy aside, no company has to show any banners, you just have to respect your users rights to privacy. All companies may use as many cookies as they want as long as they're strictly necessary for the sites operation.
- TekMol 4y agoI know a bunch of startups and they all struggle with the GDPR. None has any issues with environmental protection. "just have to respect your users rights to privacy" is easier said than done. I don't know a single startup that can say for sure they are GDPR compliant. It's not just "don't use Google fonts". It's really hard questions like "Do we have to replace all our non-EU infrastructure like our CDN, our payment provider, the SaaS services we use with new infrastructure ran by companies in the EU? How do we find those? Do they even exist? Do they work well for non-EU users? Are they compliant? How do we check?".
