Leave you alone to determine your own health code? To buy meat without proper paperwork? To hire children to work? Where is the border?

Speaking from the US perspective, Europe still imports from Xinjiang region of China, where over 2 million Muslims do forced labor. The US banned imports already. Not only that, according to SCMP, they more than doubled in just August. Straighten out the obvious before adding another yoke on small businesses.

  We also import goods from the US where prisoners do forced labour. At any rate; one bad thing does not cancel out another. We can fight both slave labor and strive for protecting citizen data.

    True - but equating the US prison system to what is happening to them is an absurdity. It’s like if Nazi Germany said their camps weren’t that bad, after all, the US has prisons.

      The Nazi camp counterpart for US would be Guantanamo: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_cam... They just moved it to occupied foreign soil to technically not have a concentration camp in US soil. But then Germany had concentration camps in occupied soil as well, like Auschwitz in occupied Poland.

  That does not answer my question at all

I think what parent is trying to say that at certain point over-regulation is not helpful and actually detrimental not just to the business, but the ecosystem as a whole. For a smaller business, onerous regulation could mean closing the doors. For a big business, the burden is also there, but it can more easily withstand it due to its size ( and it typically has some resources to throw at a given issue ). I agree that there are some 'minimal functioning society' laws like the ones you listed, but I am not certain Canada law example in previous posts or GDPR falls in the same category. As usual, the question is that of where the line is. And that should be determined by societies at large.

  What parent forgot to mention is that (from what I managed to find out) law 96 doesn't apply to businesses with less than 25 employees. Down from less than 50 in the previous law (though I'm not certain what other changes might have been made).
